Jute wrapped wine jugs
This is a project that I shared on Hating Martha for May Day, but it can easily be a project for everyday use.
My friend at Junque Chic 5 had extra wine jugs she had been saving and agreed to donate them to my crafting addiction.
Since I see these larger wine jugs used for lamps and all sorts of cool things, I knew they would have many possibilities.
I decided to do a simple project with them for May Day (since they work so well as vases). I cleaned them up, and printed out some numbers.
I wasn’t sure how I would attach the numbers and I didn’t feel like cutting all of them, so I just cut out one and used it to help me freehand trace the number on the jug. If you cut vinyl, it would work perfectly!
Then I took my ginormous pile of twine and started wrapping and hot gluing.
I glued “here and there”, probably two glue spots per strand circle around the jug.
I wrapped the top and bottom. I think it would be cool to use twine or yarn on the entire vase too.
I think I’ll keep these 3 for me….
and give one to my giving friend with the number 5 and some lilacs in it.
So there ya have it. Another project to use up those wine vases!

I'm a wife, a sister, a daughter, a mother of 5, a Jesus lover, a coffee abuser, an obsesser of all things DIY, design and decor related.
Most of what you'll see here are ways to live inexpensively, and how I put those into practice with my constant need to renovate houses.
We are a military family of 7, so houses must come big and inexpensive, and made beautiful as we go, turning what most would see as trash, into treasure.
Thanks for stopping by, stay awhile and make yourself at home. I hope you enjoy my ideas. 
Love how these turned out!
This is SUPER cute!!!!! Love the idea
http://www.iheartmygluegun.com
I love mine! Even my little brother was impressed with your idea…and yes I gave you total credit! You are so creative and thoughtful! Thanks again!!! I can’t wait to give you something else to make beautiful!
I love this. What a great idea. I need one of the bottles. Very clever. Hugs, Marty
love this idea! They look terrific. Those wine jugs are the perfect size for this project. Guess we need to drink more wine, giggle. xo
ahh..these are adorable!! great size!
Katie, those are just awesome! I love that you left he middle open! And I love the numbers! So fun! Thanks for sharing this project.
So nice! I’m always blown away by your creativity! Great job! I love the numbers!
Pinned it! As if I need another reason to drink wine
This is a real cute idea!!! I’ll be doing this
Katie, what a super idea! I’m looking for more ideas for recycling and upcycling! This is now on my to do list. I have some of these jugs from our Sangria Party!
I would LOVE for you to stop over and link this up in our Crafty Saturday Showcase! It runs from Sat-Thur. Then we pick the top post to feature on Friday. We also have a linky for ETSY and Business Crafty items!
Hope you have a great weekend!

Love this idea! My to-do list is getting longer by the minute! I like your idea about covering the entire bottle with rope, but I think I like the way you’ve done it even better. I’m a new fan (I found you via Positively Splendid) and I look forward to following your blog.
They look lovely!
Hugs

These are so pretty, I love how you used something that would have otherwise been discarded and turned it into some beautiful! Loving following your blog
Tanya
I can probably polish off those 3 jugs of wine by tomorrow then get started on the twine!
Love these – pinning this fabulousness!
Kelly
hahahaha! Glad you like them
–Katie
Ok are you kidding me?! This is so cool, I love it. What a wonderful idea and I love how you left the middle section open. What a beautiful arrangement.
Awesome. Love the design.

Cute idea! These look great! Visiting from Curb Apeal, Block Party, and I’m now a follower!
These are so wonderfully creative. Great job!
Oh I like these!! Very cool!!
Happy Monday! xo Holly
I -want to do this!…
I LOVE them!
stopping by from romance on a dime…not sure where I will get wine jugs, but I love the peekaboo aspect of these. I suppose I can use any old glass container.
So true! Do you like pickles? I always want to use those big jars somehow
–Katie
These are excellent! Sooo cute! I love the peekaboo portion!
Love these thanks for the inspiration!!
I love them where did you get your jute? I went searching but came up empty. I love the addition of the numbers. Thanks so much for sharing at Whimsy Wednesdays.
I found it at a thrift store! That huge bundle (plus the stuff I’ve already used) for $4. My mom found a bunch at a yard sale the other day too. Hit and miss, I guess.
–Katie
These are great. They look so pretty all done up.
Those are so cute and original! I would love for you to share this (and any other creations) at Pin It and Win It Wednesday @ http://www.cheapcraftymama.com– where you can win free ad-space on my blog!
Awesome idea!
Wow – such a great idea!! Wine bottles are so versatile.
I’m pinning this. Thanks for linking up at Romance on a Dime!!
This is awesome. What a super way to use wine jugs that are left over. Maybe I need to start serving my neighbors wine more often so I can have some jugs too.
I love this. Aren’t wine bottles of every size great for crafting. I would love it if you would share this on my linky party – Tout It Tuesday. http://www.claimingourspace.com/2012/05/tout-it-tuesday-7.html
Hi, Katie
The bottles look awesome! Great idea. I found your lovely blog on Not just a housewife link party. I enjoyed looking around your lovely blog and I am a new follower. Love for you to stop by http://www.homesweetbutterfly.com. Have a great week.
