Anyone else ready for the slight chill that makes you grab for a sweater for the first time in months? I am all about soft, cozy knits that seem to hug you with their snuggliness. Cause who doesn’t love the snuggles?
Since I like that feeling so much, why wouldn’t my décor, right?
I decided to give my glass vases the snuggle treatment with their own cozy sweater.
This is one of those insanely easy projects.
How to Make Sweater Wrapped Vases and Glass Containers
Step 1: Grab some old sweaters you aren’t afraid to take some scissors too. This is a great way to recycle those seen-better-days sweaters. Or if you are still holding on to all of yours, hit up a thrift store.
When looking for sweaters look for chunky knit sweaters with interesting cabling and details.
Step 2: Gather all the glass jars, vases, and containers you have.
Step 3: Thread your vase through the sleeve (or turtleneck as I did for this one!). Situate where you want your sleeve/neck to fit on the glass.
Play with cuffing if you would like. Then snip off the sleeve/neck about one inch below the bottom of the glass container.
Step 4: Using a knitting needle and yard, sew up the bottom to make it flat.
Step 5: Fill, decorate and enjoy! Toss some branches into a tall vase for some extra height. Light a candle in another. They look adorable in groupings too!
