Tammy from Cameo Cottage Designs shared the cutest DIY project for giving plain glass bottles or demijohns a nautical, vintage vibe.
She used simple jute twine and created a knotted net around her bottles — and honestly, it looks like something you’d find in a high-end coastal decor shop.
What I love is how Tammy breaks down the knotting process step-by-step, so even if you’re not a pro at macrame, you can totally handle this.
Plus, she shares a smart little tip about taping the twine around the neck of the bottle to keep things steady while you work.
This project is perfect for upcycling old bottles or thrift store finds into stylish home decor.
Tammy even shows how you can switch up the look with different sizes of bottles or colored glass for a custom touch.
She suggests adding a candle or even fairy lights inside the bottles for an extra cozy glow.
Her technique could work for vases, jars, or any glass container you want to give that beachy, boho charm.
If you’ve got some extra twine and bottles lying around, definitely check out Tammy’s tutorial!
