Coke can bud vase

These were made long back . DH used to get crates full of coke & my house almost turned into a recycle bin with coke cans scattered here & there . 

I had a few pretty flowers from ikea & some rope . 

So there you go ..

Cost : less than 2 dollars

You will need 

• coke can 
• rope 
• hot glue gun
• optional : You might want to add some embellishment like faux pearls , jewels from your old earring , felt flower to make it prettier. I have seen people color it as well .

 Isn't it one ( & only) good reason to buy coke?
