DIY Rope Vases

From: Creative in Chicago
What It Is: Unique and beautifully textured rope vases
Why We Love It: Some of those arts-and-crafts projects your kids make at school aren't exactly what you want sitting in the middle of your kitchen table -- but this vase is! It's easy to do (with help from you), the kids will love seeing it sitting around, and you'll love that it matches your decor.
What You’ll Need: Various balls of jute and piping cord, hot glue and some empty cans
How To Do It: Starting at the bottom of the can, take your piping cord and slowly wind the rope around the can. Continuously secure the rope with some hot glue ad you go and there you have your very own rope vase!
