I keep finding <strike>junk</strike> lightly used items and turning them into things I can use. I've been salvaging dollar store vases, ripping up old dresses, and digging through the garbage for jars. <br /><br /><em>No, this is not an episode of "Hoarders: Buried Alive". I'm <u>thrifty</u>. </em><br /><br />Yesterday I continued my foraging, and found an old wine carafe. <em>SCORE!</em> I think. I've never used it. I mean, my wine always comes in a bottle, all of its own. <br /><br />I thought maybe I could use the carafe to serve water, or iced tea... <em>Nah</em>. I have pretty pitchers for that, not to mention, my fridge has an ice and water dispenser. <br /><br /><em>Hmmmm, </em>what's a girl to do with an old wine carafe? <br /><br />With an obvious inability to let some things go, throwing the carafe out wasn't an option. But gluing jute rope to it was. <em>It <strong>is</strong> a score! See?</em> <br /><br />Would you like a tutorial? Okay! <br /><br />1. Plug in your glue gun, and grab a ball of jute or twine. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Oo-6w5KwfIMIJhyhRgeaYr1thpM7aKqN_LMd3qCRe1UpsZzYRJSWFO5MAyJWTZKdzzNLtQv_jusklbsAOf8w4Uqf2gZlcZRDBTn8nl-zZsT2MtknGRIm3Y_GrrLg7h2Ru3wIA5bbpL0/s1600/jute+vase2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Oo-6w5KwfIMIJhyhRgeaYr1thpM7aKqN_LMd3qCRe1UpsZzYRJSWFO5MAyJWTZKdzzNLtQv_jusklbsAOf8w4Uqf2gZlcZRDBTn8nl-zZsT2MtknGRIm3Y_GrrLg7h2Ru3wIA5bbpL0/s320/jute+vase2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2.
