Twine Wrapped Bottles

Twine Wrapped Bottles are the perfect easy and inexpensive DIY decor!
By Rachel of Maison de Pax

Hi, Love Grows Wild readers! It’s Rachel again from Maison de Pax, and I’m excited today to share with you one of the world’s easiest projects. All you need are some wine bottles, jute twine, hot glue, and a little creativity. 😉

These Twine-Wrapped Bottles are inexpensive to make and the perfect easy DIY decor project! Use them as a centerpiece, vases, bookends, and more! | LoveGrowsWild.com

I chose to go light and simple with my home this summer (you can tour it here), and since nautical accents always seem appropriate in the summer, this textured jute twine seemed the perfect neutral compliment.

I wanted a little variety in my bottles, so I made three different designs. I’ll show you how I did mine, but you can certainly create yours however you please!

#1: The basic wrap

To start this, I wrapped the twine around the bottle with the end slightly higher than the rest (see the picture below) and put a bead of hot glue along the top edge of the twine. This keeps the glue from squirting out the bottom and looking ugly (your next row will cover up that bead); it also allows you to cover up the end of the twine as you continue to wrap upwards. I used a bead of hot glue above every other line – I wanted it to be secure, but I didn’t want too much glue to show.

Once you’ve reached the top, you’ll want to hide the other end of your twine. To do that, do not secure your topmost row of twine until the end is tucked securely underneath; then add the hot glue and press down your top row (see below).

#2: The twisted wrap

I wanted to create even more texture on this bottle, so I began by tying it at the bottom of the bottle neck.

I then wrapped the twine around to the opposite side of the bottle and tied it again there. Then back to the front… and so on… At the top, I hid the ends before hot gluing the final row into place.

#3: The braided knot

This one took the most time, but I think it turned out to be the most interesting. I was actually inspired by the way the twine was wrapped on the actual spool before I began using it. I started by gluing the end in the middle of the bottleneck and wrapping the twine in a figure 8 – first up around the top of the bottle neck, then down around the lower part – covering the end of the twine in the process.

I had to get creative to make the twine fully cover the bottleneck, but by twisting that figure 8 over and over again, I was able to cover the neck and create a very cool knot-looking structure on the front.

This really was amazingly easy; it only took me about 15 minutes for all three! I used empty bottles that were special to me (Bordeaux and Sancerre to remind me of the two years we lived in France and one from the Texas Wine Country that we bought on a trip there for our anniversary) and jute I already had on hand. I am thinking I might eventually fill them with sand and use them as bookends – wouldn’t that be cool?!?! But for now, I have the three sitting in my DIY weathered wood box… just to look pretty.

    Love how jute twine can make something look so much better, guess the texture is what does it Your wrapping techniques are great for how they look and I prefer last one also. They do look good in your wood box.
    You lived in France for 2 yrs? Lucky you, would you go back to live there if you could? How exciting. Great experiences for you and hubs. Where does a person get wine bottles if they don’t drink wine? I’ve asked at a sports bar in town closest to us but they recycle them, darn it. Would love to get their corks also but they give them to somebody else. I’ll have to get creative to find another place to get them. Happy summer days

      I agree, the texture is beautiful! That’s a great idea asking some of the bars and restaurants near you for their wine bottles and corks. Surely one of them would happily donate to you! Have a great day, JaneEllen!

    What size twine is that? Is that the stuff that has the wire in it? I have twine but it’s thin as yarn! I think that would be difficult to cover anything lol.
