Glass Hurricanes with Rope Detail

I've been eyeing the gorgeous glass hurricanes at Pottery Barn, Ballard Designs, Pier One etc. for what seems like an eternity! I figured I could make some for much less. I actually found my matching pair at the Ross for $3.99 each. They had all sizes and shapes, but for this project, I choose to go with the more simple, stalkier size that was about 11 inches tall.
(Oh, ps: please pardon my couch pillow in the background ha!)
To give it that trendy chic, rustic touch, I picked up some rope at Lowes. I couldn't believe how cheap it was..less than $3 bucks!
All I did was wrap the rope around my glass hurricanes until I found the right number of times I wanted it to circle around. After that, I tied a double knot extremely tight in the middle.
I chose not to hot glue mine to the glass, but that could definitely be an option if you didn't want the rope to move anywhere.
Once finished, I cut the rope off at the end, and...Viola! Such an easy and chic way to dress up a dining room table, bookshelf, mantle, and more!
