Macrame Beach Glass Vase
Don't you just love the color of beach glass?
This turquoise color is my favorite!
When I found this beautiful vase it was just the right color and I knew I could make it look even more nautical with a touch of macrame.
I used to love macrame back in the day and lately I've made several great projects with the macrame cord I bought on Amazon.
Today's beautiful project is one I'll keep around all summer!
I began this project with a bolt of macrame cord I purchased a while back.
I've made a whole bunch of fun macrame projects using the same bolt of cord.
I started with a 14" length of cord folded in half.
I hitched 12 - 3' lengths of cord to the folded piece.

First, I wrapped the strings around the neck of the vase.
I started at one end tying a square knot with the first four strings.
The original string I used to tie the longer strings to the vase was stuck inside to keep it out of the way.
I went around the vase tying every group of 4 strings into a box stitch or square knot.
I continued tying knots around the vase, stretching the knots down as I went.
I continued tying the knots to the bottom of the vase.
When I reached the bottom of the bottle I began pulling the strings tighter to gather them as I turned the corner.
At the bottom of the vase I separated the cords into 2 large bunches and tied them in a knot.
Next, used hot glued on the knot to keep it from unraveling.
Then trimmed off the excess string.
The bottom of my vase was slightly indented which was perfect for the knot at the bottom.
Next, I removed the original tie strings from the top of the bottle and attached a couple of pretty beach shells with hot glue.

I filled the vase with greens and it made a gorgeous coastal decoration for our summer home.
