Make your own western vase on $5


I made these 8 vases for plant clippings and it only cost me $5! 
***You'll need:
     A glass hurricane or straight tall cup
     Some twine from the hardware store
     Hot glue 
     And some chocolate for your sanity after spinning these for 15 min!

A dab of hot glue at the base of the case will hold the twine in place. 
With the vase inverted, I put a drop of glue starting at the top and attached the twine.

Glue the first row completely around so it doesn't slip off.  

Continue spinning around and gluing periodically until you have the twine about halfway down the vase. You can stop at any point but it's nice looking if there's a substantial amount of twine on the glass. 

When you're ready to stop, make the final row glued down, so it doesn't slip. Then cut the twine off and glue the edge down to the glass.
