I have wanted to make Jute sleeves since I say them in Coastal Living this fall and can be purchased here . They look so simple to make and elegant and they looked easy to make. First I ordered 1 yard of red and green from the Hobby Lobby . They had the right price and color I was looking for. Then I collected my Vases and various mismatched jars and glasses I started by laying the vase out on the Jute and cutting it a few inches large than my vase. Next I sewed a hem on what would be the top and one of the sides. Next I wrapped it around the Vase and pinned it to create me sleeve. Lastly I hand stitched it up the back to secure. Then I decorated it with a Dollar Store Reindeer and a little ribbon. And it was complete and so easy.. That I made a few more from my collection of glass wear. So easy and insert a battery operate candle and you have a lovely votive! Enjoy!
