DIY Sisal Rope on Glass

As I look through the catalogs that come almost daily I find sisal to be very popular in decorating. From rugs to lamps and everything in between there seems to be sisal. What I love about it is it's cheap and so easy to work with. Today I'm showing you how easy it is to update a vase, candle holder, and yes even a mustard jar. 

*Don't throw away your glass jars USE THEM!!
This mustard jar was the perfect size for adding a few seashells
 that I found down the shore. 
If you're from Jersey (New Jersey) we don't say we are going to the beach. 
We say "we're going down the shore" :) 
To dress up the mustard glass jar I added sisal rope to the top. 
Do pick up seashells on the beaches that have small holes in them. Here I turned a small seashell with the hole in the top of the shell into a hanging ornament. All I used was sewing thread to hang it from the sisal rope. Instance glam!

I think we all have unused glass vases that once had flowers in them. 
Take them out of the closet and use them.

All you need for this project is a glass vase, sisal rope (I used 1/4"), a large sewing needle and thread. Wrap your sisal rope around your glass and with every row sew the sisal to the next row. Now you could glue it instead. I find it looks so much prettier when you sew it on.

 

 Sisal Rope can be used as thread. Here I took one of the sisal strands of rope and threaded seashells that had holes in them onto it. It couldn't be easier than that!

Here I used a battery candle for the vase. I wanted to add some height
 so I topped it off with the glass candle holder.

A Simple Summer Project!
