RePurpose with MSU Surplus: Twine candle holder

What you need:

•         Clear glass container (I purchased mine at the Surplus Store).
•         Tacky glue
•         Twine

Level of difficulty: Easy

Time: Less than 30 minutes

Step 1: Wash the clear glass and make sure it is completely dry before you start gluing.

Step 2: Find your starting point. I started at the bottom of the glass and worked my way up. Place glue on the starting point and hold the twine down for a minute or two to make sure it sticks. Add additional glue and repeat this process with the twine around the entire glass. I didn’t use much glue around the whole glass, just a few dots here and there. Make sure you hold the glued strand down for a few seconds each time so it stays in place.

Disclaimer - if you have a cat they might just play with the twine roll if you drop it.

Step 3: Let the glass dry for about an hour, or until the glue dries clear. Add a candle and show off your repurposing skills!  

Twine isn't necessarily the only material that can be used for this project. Some other ideas include:

• Ribbon  

• Twigs

• Tissue paper

• Lace

• Book pages
