1 Supplies you can use: As many yarn colors as you like, double sided tape, hot-glue,
scissors, and the glass vase, of course.
2 Begin by lining the exterior of the vase with double sided tape. It makes a clean edge to
wrap your yarn on if you are meticulous like me. I did a single layer of yarn, from the top
down, adding the tape a row at a time, where I was about to wrap yarn next.
3-4 Once I got to the bottom, I began my second layer wrapping up, where I wanted to
incorporate some stripes. This layer nested nicely into the first, so I only used the tape
where I switched colors. I cut a small square of tape and pressed color 1's end down
and then color 2's end. I know you can hardly see it, but if you look closely, the square of
tape is in both pictures! Use a sticker (see photo 6) to line up all your color switches
because they end up looking pretty jaggedy (photo 7).
5 Here, I'm attempting to wrap my second stripe an equal distance from the first. When I got
to the end, I hot-glued the end of the yarn down and also a loose piece at the bottom.
And wah-lah! Won't it be pretty with little grateful leaves hanging everywhere?
That turned out nice! Very neat (as in cool) :)
