Happy Monday Friends…
During the summer I love nautical elements… so I thought adding some nautical elements to my family room would be perfect.
With some rope and my favorite crafting tool, my glue gun, I created some rope coasters.
They look perfect on my mapped tables.
Simple, beachy and they took less than 10 minutes to make all 4.
Of course my son thinks they’re better used as frisbees… gotta love boys!
My only recommendation is that you use a rope that isn’t scratchy. This rope is very soft to the touch. You don’t want something that could scratch up your glass or wood. If you used a scratchy rope you could cut out some cork and adhere it to the base to protect your surfaces.
Thanks for stopping by friends!
I’ve got another BIG giveaway starting Wednesday & this week’s Power of Paint Party starts Tuesday @ 7… see you then!
These are great!! I’m SO loving the nautical look right now, maybe because I’m desperate for spring?! And I just bought nautical rope, so when I ran across your coasters I was so excited! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Perfect… happy crafting!

Such a cute & fresh idea! Love it! I love nautical looks & especially in the Summer.
These are so cute! What a fun, beachy project:)
What type of rope did you use?
Adorable….and brilliant! They’d make a cute hostess gift for a summer party, too!
These look great. My only question is about the condensation from the glasses. How well do the coasters absorb that or do they?
Great question HM. I’ve only used them for 2 days now… but they’ve been hot days where I loaded my water with ice and they absorbed the moisture perfectly. I think it would depend on the type of rope you pick too.
These are darling. What a fun hostess gift at a Summer party too =)
Great idea Shannon!
How fabulous are they! You are brilliant!
