Today I’m going to show you 10 ideas I found on Pinterest to decorate with rope. These DIY’s are very clever and cheap as well.
This morning I suggested to another blogger that she might wrap something in rope. Then I got to thinking: what all can you decorate with rope?
And so I went searching on Pinterest to find out.
Rope Placemats:
City Farmhouse came up with this one. These placemats resemble ones that came from Pottery Barn. But they didn’t. She shows you how to make them here.
Woven Rope Pendant:
I love this woven rope pendant. Design Sponge did this one. You can find the instructions to make it here.
DIY Rope Candle Holder:
Four Generations One Roof came up with these cute candle holders. She shows you to do it here.
DIY Coastal Wreath:
This is a great dollar store craft by The Latina Nextdoor. I think it’s beautiful. And so creative. She shows you how here.
Rope Ottoman:
Ottomans are a hot commodity right now. Here’s a project that uses a tire and rope. This one is from Style Me Pretty. They show you how here.
Rope Plant Container:
I love my house plants. But the containers would look a lot better wrapped in rope. This is from Collective Gen and they show you how to do it here.
Rope/Sisal Covered Tray:
Well, this makes great use of an old pizza pan. I’d have just tossed it. But a DIYer sees all kinds of possibilities. Inspired Decorator shows you how she did it here.
Rope Mirror:
I’ve used jute to decorate the wood around a mirror before, but it wasn’t round. I love this one! Modern Day Moms shows you the tutorial here.
Rope Planter/Waste Basket:
This is used as a planter, but you could also use it as a waste basket. And what a pretty one it would be at that. This one comes from Windmill & Protea. She shows you how to do it here.
These are placemats. But if you just made it bigger it could be a rug. DIY rug has to be way cheaper than one from a store. You can find the instructions from Completely Coastal for this DIY here.
Have you decorated with a rope? If so, let us know what you made in the comments, please.

Where can I find the white purse pictured above.
I don’t know. It was just part of the photo.
These are all good ideas. On “Battle on the Beach” on HGTV one of the teams made a light to hang over a table from a plastic plant pot turned upside down and wrapped in jute. It got rave reviews from the judges and they said it looked like a high-end item.
These are all great ideas. So many clever people. xo Laura
These are great ideas! I especially love those placemats!
Watch Ivys claws… good scratching posts!
🙂😻
I never see her scratch anything but her scratching post. But I know the rope could entice her.
Hi Brenda,
Wow, I like this post and your helpful referrals. Years ago (probably 25) I made a mirror with heavy duty anchor jute rope and sea shells over a piece of wood. My husband cut the wood to look like an arched window. It was hung over a driftwood console table outside and under a covered patio. When we sold the house the new owners bought all my outdoor furn. and the fountain. They said our entry and backyard sealed the deal!
Wow, that sounds beautiful! I don’t know if I want to take on rope in a DIY or not. Mulling it over.
Great suggestions! I am going to do the ottoman and the pizza pan tray. I have a couple of pizza pans that I never use and we have several old tires that I was waiting for special pick up to get rid of them, but I’ll keep two to make the ottoman!
Sounds like a plan to me! Upcycling is always good. Helps the environment too.
