Fall Frenzy Started: Sweater-Covered Vases

Necessary Materials

Necessary Supplies

Step 1. Trace the base of the vase on the kleenex box (or other scrap cardboard and cut cut to fit on bottom. Do not glue in place.    Step 2:Pull sweater sleeve over glass vase and cut about an inch below the necessary length.

Step 3: Cut slits in the excess inch about 1-2 inches apart.

Step 4: Lay flaps flat one at a time and hot glue to kleenex circle. Cut excess that overlaps to get a level base.

The one on the left was pictured in the instructions. The one on the right, I made shorter and rolled the sleeve only half-way up a much taller vase. The little one will get a hemp bow and a candle while the taller will be filled with dried wheat.

Easy stuff to add a warm cozy feel to your living space. PLUS, hot gluing to the cardboard instead of the vase leaves the vases as is for seasons in which they shouldn't be wrapped in cozy cable knit! Wouldn't it be fun to do an "Ugly Sweater Party" and then make these as mementos from the old never-to-be-worn-again sweater?!? 

Happy Fall Y'All!
