Why This Craft Works
This little beauty is just perfect for adding that cozy, country touch to any room.

You’re going to love how quickly it comes together, and it’s absolutely perfect for anyone, even if you’re just starting out with DIY projects. Let’s grab our Dollar Tree goodies and make some magic happen!
Step 1: Paint Rustic Base Ring
Begin by thoroughly cleaning your planter ring or chosen base piece. If it’s plastic or metal, a quick wipe with isopropyl alcohol will help paint adhere better. Apply an even coat of white chalk paint to the entire exterior surface of the ring. Allow it to dry completely. For a distressed farmhouse look, lightly sand certain edges or raised areas once dry to reveal the material underneath, or add a thin, dry-brushed layer of a darker color for a weathered effect.
Step 2: Add Bottom Jute Rope Accent
Once the paint on your base ring is fully dry, begin wrapping the jute twine or nautical rope around the very bottom edge. Apply a thin line of hot glue to a small section of the ring, then carefully press the end of the rope into the glue. Continue applying glue in small sections and wrapping the rope tightly and evenly, ensuring each coil sits flush against the previous one. Trim any excess rope and secure the end with a final dab of hot glue.
Step 3: Wrap Vase with Jute Rope
Clean the clear glass hurricane vase thoroughly with glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to ensure no smudges or oils are present. Once dry, identify the upper wider section where the rope accent will go. Starting at the back of the vase, apply a thin line of hot glue and attach the end of your jute twine or nautical rope. Carefully wrap the rope around the vase, applying small dabs of hot glue periodically to secure it, aiming for an even band of rope. Finish by gluing the end at the back and trimming neatly.
Step 4: Craft Bow and Bead Tassel
Take a length of jute twine and tie it into a rustic bow. For the bead tassel, cut a piece of jute twine, string several wooden beads onto it, and then secure the beads with a knot. Take another length of jute twine, fold it in half, and tie it around the bottom of the beaded strand to form a small tassel. Attach the top of the beaded tassel to the center knot of your jute bow using hot glue or by tying it securely.
Step 5: Assemble & Decorate
Carefully hot glue the crafted jute bow and bead tassel to the front of the jute rope band on the glass vase, ensuring it hangs attractively. Next, place your cream LED pillar candle inside the clean glass vase. Gently tuck the faux eucalyptus stems and small white flowers around the base of the candle, ensuring they look full and natural without obscuring the candle’s glow. Finally, carefully place the glass vase (with the candle and greenery inside) into the painted and roped base ring, centering it for stability.
