Lightbulb moment!!!
I had Friends coming over for a knitting party so needed to tidy up. I had a bag of wool in one hand and empty bottles in the other when DING DONG, a cool idea emerged. I got out my trusty double sided tape and got to work.
I wanted to use the empty bottles to make a centre piece for my table, so I got one wine bottle and two smaller beer bottle. Washed them out really really well so there was no scummy beer smell left. I wrapped the doubled sided tape around the top of bottle and put two vertical strips of it down the sides of the bottle, then all i had to do was wrap the wool around it. I started at the top and worked my way down the bottle then i criss crossed my way back to the top. I wanted to leave the end piece inside the neck of the bottle so i pushed some glue down the neck and secured the loose piece inside.
Taaaa Daaaaa!!!
The wool I used was really hairy fuzzy wool my mum got me in turkey but I might try it soon with different colours of dk wool, I'll put up a picture if I do. To finish off the look I put in some paper flowers I'd made before from this tutorial on the rockandrollbride.com find it HERE
