Upcycled Wine Bottle Vase
This project was really fun to do as it allowed me to play with the glue gun. Simply take an old wine or other glass bottle, some thin sisal rope and a glue gun to save another treasure from the recycling bin!
Upcycled bottle – now a unique vase
The bottle I used was an unusual shape which I think adds to the appeal. I just wrapped and glued until the rope covered the bottle.

I was quite happy with the result, but as it was a gift I decided to further embellish it with a fabric flower (another latest obsession – using fabric scraps to make flowers!)
Click on any picture below to see how the flower came together.
(By the way, I missed the photo step about stitching the petals: I just folded the circles into quarters and did a running stitch along the curved edge, then pulled it tight to pull the petals together to form a flower shape).
I finished it with what I hope are realistic-looking fake flowers from the garden centre.
A simple unique gift made from recycled materials – have a go! x
