Sweater Vest… I Mean Vase; Guest Party Highlight
I have had this plan in my head for months. Making a recycled sweater covered vase, especially since everyone has been wrapping bottles with twine. This has been in my brain since I made my sweater pillows and Christmas socks. I have been shopping around and had the stuff in my craft room for 3 months. And guess what? My project just got linked to my party… oh the blog world, sometimes it’s a love / hate relationship. But, I guess I should think great minds think alike right?
Let me start by saying this project cost me $1.00; yep, that’s right ~ One whole dollar. Nothing that is going to break your bank here, plus it’s so easy peasy anyone with a glue gun can handle this, I promise.
I bought the glass cylinder vase from the beloved Dollar Tree {these are all over blog land being used as diy candle sticks and apothecary jars so I know almost all of the Dollar Trees carry them ~ they are located in the candle isle} The sweater was mine worn one too many times. I have to say I am so tired of winter this year that it was easy for me to give this one up. Our Dollar Tree also carries a few sweaters so if you are not willing to part ways with any of your clothing, this project will cost you $2. The only other materials needed to create this project are a glue gun and a tiny bit of a glue stick.
Great Job Stephanie!
I love the color of sweater you found and the cable knit,
it is so perfect!
