DIY Idea: Yarn-Wrapped Vases

At the Cute as a Button baby shower I recently threw my friend Lindsay and I made several yarn wrapped vases that we used down each of the tables. They turned out really cute and were really easy to make. 

Here's all the steps to making your own! {please excuse the iPhone picture quality}

Lindsay and I literally cleaned our refrigerators and found glass bottles that were almost empty or expired {oops!}. 

 Peel off the labels and wash them out well.  You don't have to go to crazy with trying to remove all the sticky label stuff in areas that will be covered with yarn.  Do check to make sure there isn't ink printed on the jars in areas that won't hidden by yarn. {We had a few with unfortunately place expiration dates}

 Start by placing a piece of double sided tape near the bottom of the bottle.  Place a piece of yarn on it and begin wrapping over the end of the yarn.  

 Continue wrapping round and round until the end of the yarn is completely covered. 

Continue wrapping the yarn around the bottle tightly, sliding down as you go to ensure the bottle is completely covered.  

 If you need to cover any curved areas of the bottle cover with completely with double sided tape and wrap carefully over the tape to ensure the yarn layers are touching. Its best to use more tape than you think is necessary to get good coverage over curves. 

 Ta-da! Just add a few blooms and you are ready to go!
