Ballard’ish Rope Cloche
Happy Monday Friends…
Hope you had a wonderful weekend! We had another hot one here. All this hot weather is making me long for fall even more. I thought I’d get a start on a project that I plan to include on my fall mantel.
I thought this was the perfect accessory to transition from summer to fall. I was completely inspired to create this when I saw this…
on the Ballard Designs site… oh so cute, right! So I needed to create my own version.
Last month I tried out a pin I saw on Pinterest on cutting glass. You can read all the how to here… but bottom line it worked and I loved it!
So I had this cool bottle with the bottom cut off and I thought… perfect!
I gathered some rope I had on hand. I slipped the rope through the top and tied off the end with three knots. Then knotted the off the top. Then finished with a knot at the other end of the rope.
It’s lookin’ cute on my summer mantel with a bunch of seashells underneath.
My brain is spinning on what I’ll show-off with it on my fall mantel… hum…
Love it and I had everything on hand… so a free to me project… bonus points!
Thanks for stopping by friends. Have a wonderful week…
Love this tutorial! Always great when you can make it yourself!
What a clever idea! I might have to try this one out, because I really like it.
BTW, I’ve nominated you for a Liebster Award. I love your blog!

LOVE this and beautiful photos! Great job! The whole mantle is gorgeous!
I really like the way your rope cloche turned out ~ your entire display is lovely!
I love the texture those add to the pieces! I’d love for you to link up this (and any other ideas you’d like to share) at “One Creative Weekend” on OneCreativeMommy.com. The party is open until Wednesday night.
Oh cool! I already have a bottle in mind. I’ll need to go rescue it from the recycling bin!
Cool… can’t wait to see it Sharon!
