Fabric Bottle experiment

Using old fabric scraps, a bandana & studio rags & a wine bottle. I first cut the fabric into long strips & knotted fabric to create long pieces.
Then, I tied three long strips of different fabric & braided them together. I used the hot glue gun ( aka my best friend) to begin wrapping braids around the base of the bottle. I interchanged large pieces with thinner pieces.
I continued up the bottle, gluing as I go.
Although this project was not 100% successful, I think these bottles are interesting & I love all the textures. I have yet to find a wine bottle project (other than tissue paper bottles) that is both fun & beautiful. Any ideas?
