How to Repurpose a Bottle Into a Vase

For this project, we’re going to be repurposing a glass bottle. Kirsten over at Red Leaf Style uses a Snapple bottle and a water bottle to make her rustic rope covered vases, but you could use a wine bottle or any glass bottle that you have on hand.

Or, if you want something with a wider opening, you could totally do this with pickle jars or mason jars using the same technique.

Decorating Your DIY Rope Covered Bottle Vase

I used burlap ribbon to make a rustic looking flower on my vase, but you could decorate these with any number of other things, like:

  • Artificial Flowers
  • Gingham Ribbon
  • Pearls and Gems
  • Feathers

Just match your own decorating style!

Materials

  • Glass Bottle
  • Thin Rope or Twine
  • Rustic Ribbons or Burlap
  • Artificial Flowers

Tools

  • Scissors
  • Hot Glue Gun

Instructions

  1. Start by choosing your bottle. You can use any bottle of any size or shape, as long as it’s a glass bottle. Hot glue tends to melt plastic bottles, so be sure that you are using a glass one for this craft.
  2. Make sure that you have enough rope or twine to cover the entire bottle. Natural jute twine works really well, or you could use regular rope as long as it’s thin enough.Gluing twine onto the bottom of a glass bottle
  3. Begin at the bottom of your bottle. Note that you are not covering the very bottom, just the bottom sides. Start there and begin gluing down the twine.Wrapping and gluing twine up a glass bottle
  4. Wrap the twine all the way around the bottle from bottom to top, making sure to glue it down as you go.Glass bottle completely covered in twine
  5. That’s the hard part. Now comes the fun part…decorating!Finishing covering a bottle with rope
  6. Decide what you’re going to use to decorate your rustic bottle. I chose burlap ribbon and a little artificial flower, but you can use whatever you want.
  7. If you are making the ribbon like I did, you need to make sure that you get burlap ribbon that has wire in it so that you can easily create the flower.
  8. You need to cut several squares of the ribbon and then trim all of the edges off to create the flower shape.Trimming edges from burlap ribbon
  9. I used a wider ribbon for the outside and a bit thinner one for the middle, then I added a little flower to that burlap flower.Putting together a flower with burlap ribbon
  10. Pinch the ends of each square and glue them onto your bottle to create a circular pattern.Placing burlap ribbon in a circle to create a flower look
  11. If you want, you can add a small artificial flower to the center of your burlap flower.Gluing an artificial flower onto the burlap ribbon
  12. Once you are finished, your DIY bottle vase should look something like this one:Rope covered bottle with paper flowers
