I posted about this project last week, but since even my family doesn’t read my site (sad, I know) I thought I would be safe to share it again. I’ve seen twine wrapped vases at different stores and in catalogs. Of course I can make them cheaper myself, so I did. I used vases I already had around the house, a pitcher I bought at Ross recently for $1.49, artificial flowers I had in a drawer and a ball of twine. Here’s what I started with:
It’s an easy peasy project and it looks great. I used a glue gun to attach the twine to the top of the vase and just started wrapping. I had to add glue to quite a few spots on the tall vase to keep the twine from slipping down the vase or it being too loose. I love the texture and naturalness it adds. I used hot glue again at the top of the handle of the pitcher and wrapped it really tight. Then I secured the bottom end with hot glue also. The twine wrapped handle adds so much interest to the white pitcher. The final vase just has twine wrapped around the center. Here’s the final result:
I placed the pitcher and vases on a large plate. They would also look great on a tray or a cutting board. It’s such a beautiful and simple centerpiece. Of course you can also use fresh flowers. Who else likes to buy themself fresh flowers a couple times a month? I can’t be the only one. Show yourself a little love this week.
What do you think? Personally, I love it! I especially love the twine on the pitcher handle. Easy, fast, almost free! What more can you ask for out of a project? I think it looks great as a centerpiece. Now I’m off to buy myself some flowers.

Oh! It is so simple and pretty!
Those flowers are artificial? Really?
It sure makes a wonderfull table center!
I really like your twine vases. It did look easy(something I could do) and the twine adds such great dimension to the arrangement. I wanted to respond too to let you know that I was reading your site 🙂 I started my blog about a month ago and sometimes have that same thought. I’ll check back for more great projects.
Your arrangement is stunning! Great job. Love the bright colored flowers with the neutral twine.
I love it! Just found your blog today,, cant wait to look around some more.
I love it too! I just did this with some vases but I really love how you did just the middle on one of them. Gonna have to copy that!! Super cute!!!
I read your blog!!! This is the first time I noticed the comments section though. Great blog! This is Anjanette’s cousin-in-law, Marci. Maybe I’ll see you at card club next week!
Yep! I love this look! so simple and beautiful! Thanks for linking up!
Very cute! I like the one where you only wrapped the middle. What a fresh idea.
