Here is an easy way to upcycle glass jars that would normally be in your recycling bin. Plus I show you how to make these adorable twine flowers using a flower loom.
The 2 jars above are an empty and cleaned out spaghetti sauce jar and basil jar. These were “free” when I purchased my sauce and basil. I could have spent a few dollars on each at a dollar store for a “trendy” mason jar – but you don’t need to do that. Grab some empty jars that would be in your recycle bin and do what I did to turn them into rustic home decor.
I took some twine and wrapped it around the jars and secured every few rows with a dot of hot glue. Super easy!
I jumped on Amazon and found this affordable LoRan Flower Loom . This loom is very versatile and you can make all kinds of flowers using yarn, twine, and/or ribbon. I'm going to show you a simple way to use it to make the twine flower that I have pictured above on my rustic home decor of twine wrapped upcycled jars.
I also wanted to embellish the flowers with some cute colorful wooden buttons. You can leave your without buttons, or grab any sort of button or gem to make the center of your flower. I just add these on with hot glue. I have also used thinner hemp twine which was thin enough to wrap twice and make double the petals. If you don't want to make your own flowers - I do have some magnet versions for sale over on Handmade Amazon

My version, Beer bottle vases.

If more people spent time on HOMETALK, we wouldn't throw away nearly as much stuff. This is better than recycling.

I'm just getting started on this site - and I have a feeling it will be my new addiction! Upcycling is SO MUCH FUN!!!
