Today I’m sharing with you a quick decorating refresh.
Sisal Rope Vase
If you are like me, you have a lot of random glass vases sitting around which aren’t particularly beautiful but you keep them just the same. I always feel bad about throwing away a vase that is perfectly good from the florists. I have them in all shapes and sizes because “you just never know” when you might need that one.
I decided to try to upcycle a vase to give it a new look. This is a simple DIY project which you can do in minutes.
I purchased sisal rope for a DIY thrift store basket makeover I did last winter and I had some leftover just waiting to be used for something. The basket turned out so well and was super easy to do so I thought, “why not!”

Supplies for the Sisal Rope Vase
Glass vase (any shape should work)
Instructions:
1. Gather your supplies
2. Secure the end of the rope with glue at the bottom of the vase.
3. Wrap and glue as you work your way up and around the vase. Taking care to push each layer down to minimize any gaps between rows.
4. Cut and secure the end of the rope with glue.
That’s it! Definitely an easy upcycled decor transformation.
I love the summer vibe it gives off! I see this as an easy project with thrift store vases if you don’t have any lying around already. You can usually pick them up for around 50 cents. I love the look so much, that I might just try it now on other things around my house. Watch out. 🙂
Aren’t these flowers just beautiful!! These are one of several vases full of beautiful blooms I received in a Bloomsy Box. I shared all about this great service in this post yesterday.
I hope your week is off to a great start!
To life feeling like home!

If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

Looks great, and so simple! And from my experience with hot glue on glass, you could easily remove the rope if you get tired of it! thanks for sharing on craft schooling Sunday!
