Please welcome the sweet ladies of Uncommon..

Burlap Covered Vase Tutorial

Supplies:

Glass Hurricane (I got mine from Dollar Tree)

Burlap (from Jo-Ann Fabrics)

Buttons (from Wal-Mart)

Hot Glue Gun

Glue Sticks

Step One. Cut your burlap into a rectangle that is long enough to wrap around your hurricane.  I left a little over an inch at the top and bottom of the glass. 

Step Two.  Iron down about an inch of your burlap to make a clean line.  Then, you will hot glue the end of the burlap that you did not iron onto the glass.  Press lightly to make sure it stays adhered while it dries. 

Step Three.  Wrap the burlap around the glass and glue down the ironed-side of the burlap making sure that the layers at the top and the bottom are matching. If you have any stray strands go ahead and trim them. 

Step Four.  Glue your buttons on with the hot glue.  I would press each one down until the glue had tried before moving on to the next button.  That's all folks!

Now that is quite a statement for the price! What a great little gift for someone special!
