Yarn Wrapped Bottle

So, I saw the great idea and decided I had to try it!  Why?  Well, 1)It looked really cute and could be adapted to nearly any color scheme, 2)It looked easy to do, and 3)I am always about finding ways to re purpose items!  Here's what I used:

*1 Empty wine bottle - but you could use nearly any container, beer bottle, other other bottle/glass container.
*Yarn.  Most crafting stores carry a huge assortment of colors and thicknesses.  Keep in mind, the thinner the yarn, the more time it will take to wrap around the bottle!
*Mod Podge
*Sponge "paint" brush
*Trinket - optional

Get creative.  You can even combine different colors, thicknesses, and types of yard, ribbon, or string!  I also added a water lily for a finishing touch.

Here's my assembly process:  have fun creating and using your imagination.

The assembly process is also simple.  I began at the bottom of the bottle, applied about a 1 to 1 1/2 inch line of mod podge around the bottom of the bottle.  I held the yard in place with a finger until I had it wrapped around the bottle a few times.  After you have wrapped it around 4 or 5 times, you will find that the string is fairly secure.  As you wrap up, keep adding glue and wrap the yarn around the bottle(over the glue), be sure to try to keep "gaps" between rows minimal.  They will occur and that is fine, just watch for the big ones!  Once I reached the top of the bottle I left about a 6 inch length of yarn hanging.  I had a metal "trinket" that said "Tradition".  I tied this to the yarn, added my flower(fake one) and was done.  This entire little craft took about 10 minutes max.  I even made a couple for some friends!  Too cute.
