Knock Off Restoration Hardware Vase/Candle Holder

Pin It

This morning I recreated a beautiful Restoration Hardware vase/candleholder.  Their version was $68-$98.  I made mine with a glass jar I found at Michael's yesterday for $3.99 and a spool of twine I found at Lowe's for $4 and some change.  And it only took about an hour to make.  Easy Peasy!

Here is a more in depth tutorial - click here.

This one was my finished piece.

Here it is as a vase.



Here it is as a candle holder


Here is how I made it.  Find a glass jar in the right size you need.

Find twine or an angry looking rough yarn.

Last year, I was a bit scarf crazy and I bought some of those little plastic knitting thingies to make it easier than those knitting needles.  Trust me when I say they are easier.  With knitting needles I always somehow added a row at the end of each line.  The first scarf I made looked like it was a tent.

I used a woven loop.  I don't know what it is called, but if you guys want I can post a little tutorial on how to do it.  Let me know.

And you just keep repeating the pattern and looping until it grows from this...


To this!  Then you wrap it around the glass jar, loop the twine through the ends.

I looped back down to hide the seam.

Then you have a finished piece.

  10. That is fantastic! There are sites that show you how to make your own knitting nancy sort of thing (from MDF and nails, etc) if you can't get your hands on one of those plastic thingummies (have never seen them in Australia for example). Also, if you just loop your yarn around each one of those pegs, say in clockwise direction, rather than doing those sort of figure 8 loops that you did, and then keep winding your yarn around and hooking the loops over each stitch then you end up making a long tube. Which you can then make a skirt from if your starting thingummie is large enough, or at least arm warmers or leggings, or vests for little people, or a coat for your puppy, or a scarf that is double sided. All sorts of things...
    And that is still a fabulous bit of knitting, well done that girl!!!

  38. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog
    that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  39. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your
    website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to
    say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with
    it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    My website has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.
