[Alternate post title: An excuse to drink more!]
So we've had an empty Disaronno bottle on our kitchen counter for the past few weeks. I didn't want to throw it out, although I'm not sure why. After my last bottle project from Christmas, I just knew there was probably some potential.
Yum.
With these ideas in mind, I headed to Joann's and bought a roll of jute for $2.49. After soaking the bottle in hot water to get the label off, I settled in with my glue gun and began wrapping... and wrapping. I just glued at the corners every few rows or so, to keep it all in place.
It seemed a little lonely by itself though, so I stole another random bottle/vase from a different room in the house and gave it a jute makeover too. I'm kinda diggin' them.
And I've still got plenty of jute to spare! Not bad for $2.49. So, what crafty things have you done with empty bottles?

Those bottles are really fun! We'd love to see you join our Be Inspired link party on Tuesday!
Those look really great - I can see someone paying good money for them if they were at World Market or something!
Very crafty. And I agree with Sara - they look store bought. That's the best kind of results. Yaay!
I did this same thing with some skinny white candlesticks I bought at Ikea a few years back... But I got bored with the project halfway and the middle one is still half wrapped with a ball of skinny hemp string hanging from it! lol
Super cute! :)
Really cute! I love the texture! Thanks for linking up!
These cool bottles can be very nice and adorable vases! :D
This is really educational and very informative in this subject.
