Hemp Rope Vase

I decided to be creative and I think for a first attempt it turned out really well. I used an instant coffee jar, 45 ft of hemp rope, tacky glue and some ribbon and bric-a-brac I had laying around. Very simple, I wrapped the rope around the jar, securing it with glue, made ribbons and attached the flowers

Please forgive the copy and paste font. That's exactly what I did after I typed out the directions on my Facebook page.

Materials needed:

Hemp rope- I used 45 feed I ordered from Amazon
Any type of jar-I used a Suave instant coffee jar
Tacky glue-That is what it's called. You can get it in any craft section or craft store
Any type of ribbon or beads of your choosing

The key to this craft is patience. I started at the top, because for me it is easier. My mom suggested starting at the bottom because, if you run out of rope you can cover it if you run out easier. I started by gluing at the top and holding the rope down inch by inch until I got a really good groove going. Once I was able to start on the base of the jar, I glued about a half inch wide zig-zag all the way around and wound the rope tightly against the next row. Keep doing this until you reach the bottom. Once you see the bottom has a tight hold then you can let it go and begin attaching the accessories. I used ribbon so it would cover that last 1/4 in that I ran out of rope.

 I didn't realize the picture didn't turn out well but you get the idea.
