Materials List

An empty glass bottle (whiskey or beer bottles work great)
Jute twine or thick rope
Hot glue gun & glue sticks
Scissors
old bolts
small metal accents
leather scraps

Instructions

Prep the Bottle: Peel off the label, clean off the glue, and make sure the bottle is dry.
Start at the Bottom: Put a dot of hot glue at the base and press your twine into it. Start wrapping, working your way up. Add a bit of glue every few turns to keep it tight.
Keep It Even: Try to keep the twine wrapped evenly without gaps. You can go all the way to the top or stop midway, depending on the look you're going for.
Add Some Edge: Want it to stand out? Glue on a strip of leather, wrap some old copper wire around it, or attach a small gear or bolt for that industrial feel.
Done: That’s it. Stick a dried branch or a few feathers in it, or leave it as-is. Either way, it’s got character.
