A Cheap & Lovely Dollar Store Craft

8/19/2014

I just love frugal crafting. And one of my favorite sources to find great items to craft is actually the Dollar Tree or some sort of Dollar Store. I saw a wine bottle version of the craft I am showing you today on pinterest. But since I do not have wine bottles in abundance I went to the dollar tree for cheaper one dollar vases. I love the shorter wide versions anyways. You can fit a lot more flowers if you wish in them over time verses the skinny wine bottle neck.

We spread the glue lightly with a sponge brush.

Here is my girl helping me out!
Originally as seen in this picture I was going to go with cream colored yarn & white too. But my teen girl helped me a lot with the project ( I was so grateful for her helpful hands with applying the yarns!) said we should do gray & white. Well I love gray so she sold me fast to it! As you see all you really need is the vases , yarn & clue. Now it looks easier than it is , I will be honest. It takes some time to wrap it carefully while getting it to stick. We tired both methods of using Elmer's glue & tried out hot glue but be patient they do eventually stick & very well. Both work but both you simply need time to work with it. I love the way they turned out but this will be the last time I tackle so many at one time. I will stick with one at a time if I ever give as gifts! Speaking of which this would make a great frugal birthday gift or holiday gift. We decided to add the word love in mixed media. Button, a flower I painted gray & yarn. I love the way they turned out!

I love your idea of using 4 vases at once and attaching the buttons and flowers - just so cute. Maybe I'd tackle it in stages! :)

Thank you for sharing at Wake Up Wednesday!
