DIY roped vase


I was recently gifted a beautiful arrangement in a large glass vase.  I loved the arrangement in the purple hue vase, but once the flowers had wilted, the vase became a DIY project waiting to happen.  I purchased 18ft of rope from home depot, pulled out my hot glue gun and in less than 10 minutes I had a vase with texture and color that matched my style and home.  It made me think, what else can I add rope to for a quick enhancement? Perhaps a lamp post or an ugly trash pail.
