Wrapping yarn around bottles is definitely not a new idea, but it is an easy one! What a great way to add some pretty decor to your home using yarn from your stash.
This is also a great project for the kiddos! You could help them come up with some pretty embellishments to add to their jars, like buttons or little crocheted flowers.
The Process
Grab any bottle or other container you think will work. I used three of those little Starbucks Frappuccino bottles, but you could also use a beer or wine bottle, a can, or a jar. Be sure to clean it out first so it doesn’t start smelling!
Attach the yarn to the top of the bottle with some sort of glue. I used a glue stick because it’s what I had, but if I’d have been able to find my super glue, I would’ve used that instead. You just need something that will bond quickly to help the yarn stay in place.
Then, begin wrapping the bottle with the yarn. I tried to stick to a nice single layer of yarn, except on the lip of the bottle where the surface is uneven; for that part, I wound it thickly. The important thing is that the bottle isn’t showing through the yarn.
When you get to the other end, snip off the yarn and glue it in place.
I used some small budding branches from my tree out front to beautify the bottles even more.
Simple as that!
