Filed under: Crafts , Know-How In Random Recast, we find new uses for ordinary things . This week, rope takes the spotlight. SeasideInspired.com Whether white or neutral-hued, rope stylishly pulls its own weight (ha…ha) in the decor-DIY realm. It always looks right for summer, lending a nautical air to whatever it touches. And who doesn’t love the nautical look? (Says the girl who is typing this while wearing a jaunty seersucker blazer and boat shoes.) This is my absolute favorite decorative use for rope: Coiled coasters. This is one of those crafts that barely need any instructions, because it is that simple. But I’ll give them to you anyway. Just snip a length of rope, then coil into a spiral, gradually adding hot glue to the coil to keep things secure. And then you’re done. You can use this rope-coiling method to also make larger mats and trivets, just make sure to be generous with the hot glue. Feeling inspired to tackle more rope-centric projects?
