Yarn Vases

An ordinary empty bottle is turned into a cute vase by wrapping yarn around it.

Stylist home has a unique craft idea for making a vase out of yarn, glue and an empty bottle.

Good for ages 9 and up.

Tips:
It was actually fairly difficult to get the yarn to lay next to each her in perfect lines.  Try using a thicker yarn to make this easier.  Also, working from the bottom is a lot easier than starting from the top.  Especially if the bottle has ridges at the rim.

Momtastic has a very similar project using a wine bottle and jute (brown twine). You could probably use raffia too.
