Mansion from Molehill #5

My vase needed some interest and I love incorporating texture when I can, so I decided to wrap this guy up in some 4-ply twine (I think? I'm too lazy to get out of bed and run to the kitchen to make sure I don't embarrass myself by not giving the correct type of string...but am I too lazy to go to the kitchen and get a donut? I bet the donut wins out.).


I just wrapped tightly and placed a small line of hot glue along the back of the vase for each row to hold it in place. Careful though! Just when you think you're done, you're not! The entire bottom string will fall off when you pick the vase up because you didn't fix the bottom row to the structure. Just FYI. Glue around the entire bottom string so they all stay in place.


My little table is finally finished to my liking! For now. 



Go make something with twine! It's so easy and quick! I even decided to transform this little guy:


Forgot to take an after picture of the candle holder but the light colored twine breaks up the darkness on the table. Love!

Also...Should I eat the dang donut or not? It has sprinkles on it. And by "it" I mean both donuts.
