Rope crafts are easy to make, easily fit into any interior and can be used for a variety of needs.
Judge for yourself: stands, containers, decoration of any surfaces, combination with other materials and an inexhaustible list of weaving - from knots to panels in macrame technique.
The comfortable qualities of the rope as a decorative material serve to once and for all enter the list of the most profitable materials for your crafts.
Today we will show you 19 rope crafts that not only look great, but are also very easy to do, even by the most inexperienced beginner in needlework. Enjoy your photos and remember creative ideas!
Delightfully lightweight in execution, unusual coasters for glasses made of rope, which you simply roll in a circle in a horizontal plane and glue it with any persistent glue, for example, melted plastic from a hot gun.
The circle of sturdy wood in which you drill a hole will serve as the seat of the swing. A thick rope will allow you to safely hang the swing on a tree branch carrying a beam of a summer cottage or on a horizontal bar. This design will allow your child to actively develop coordination and a sense of balance. It is many times more difficult to master than a traditional swing, and is well suited for children from 5-6 years old. How harmonious is the meeting of a thick white rope and a blue bedside table! This pair was created for the nautical theme. Wrap the legs with a rope, and in the role of deck restraints, run the rope around the perimeter of the tabletop, securing it at the corners in self-tapping screws with rings.
Rope vases - original crafts for any home! Try braiding them using the simplest macrame knots to ensure a vertical shape, or simply wrap the container in a shape you like.
The decor of the rope containers can be very diverse: glued on top of shells and buttons, or bright threads with which you will wind the selected sections of the ropes across the weaving of the rope itself.
One of the easiest to do, because you don't even need to achieve a consistent tank height! You will need either a glue gun or a sewing machine to fasten the rows of rope.
By decorating the bottom of a stand or tray with a rope, you will get two beneficial effects at once. Firstly, the comfortable feeling of the textile, which especially ennobles the plastic and harmonizes perfectly with the wood. Secondly, things won't slide easily over the surface of the tray.
When it comes to large enough containers of rope, you cannot do without a thread and a needle. Simply sew the entire surface of the craft, guiding the strong thread across the circles of the rope. In the same way, you can decorate the product if you use threads of a contrasting color.
Look at how successfully the technique described more than once has been successfully played! Here, for decoration, they use wrapping with multi-colored threads across the rope rings, but the decor is placed in a strict sealed pattern. And while this photo contains handicraft tools and rolls of colored paper in the container, it has its own exclusive brush cover!
To beat naked bullets with bulbs by hanging them on twisted braids made of ropes is not a budgetary and bright idea ?! The main thing is not to skimp on large cartridges and thick ropes, and also be patient in order to complete the entire length of the suspension. The knots themselves are not complicated, especially since there are plenty of free video lessons on macrame, but tying so many knots will require a certain amount of patience.
Filling up an empty table is like finally hanging a painting on a restlessly bare wall. This immediately adds charm and coziness to the interior!
An excellent craft for any vintage interior or cozy summer cottage, where you really want to stay close to nature in every corner of the room. Play on natural colors: green, yellow, orange. For suspensions, choose either a thick rope or rope braids using the macrame technique (and here you should be patient again!). But the result will delight you for more than one year, because the woven rope elements are not only textured and beautiful, but also very strong and durable.
Wrapped, secured with a glue gun, and added a suitable decorative detail on top. It all depends on the environment of the vase and what you decide to store there. In this design, even a boring smooth glass will sparkle with new colors!
The photo frame is the perfect surface for decorating. Making such a rope craft is a little more difficult than playing with a round shape. However, the result looks very nice!
Wait a decor - trying to increase functionality! We do not know how comfortable such a soft handle will be for a fragile glass jar. But we are absolutely sure that this cute little thing will delight the eyes of those people whose childhood fell on the second half of the 20th century. They remember the cozy grandmother's milk cans. And this jar with a handle is shaped like a milk can!
As you can see, the larger the container, the denser and rougher the decorative rope, which makes sense to stick on top. This reasonable principle is also dictated by the fact that large baskets are often on the floor, which means that the rope should easily meet accidental kicks during training, or nudges with a mop and broom during cleaning.
The caring attitude towards birds is clearly visible in every loop of rope around this homemade feeder! The textiles soften the heating effect, and the birds can sit on the feeder even when the sun is hot.
In real life, there are few advocates of bare walls. Hi-tech and minimalism are good for glossy pictures, in office dramas about Wall Street life, or for transit hotels, and living in these styles every day is not a task for the faint of heart. Therefore, do not deny yourself the desire to fill the too empty space on the wall with a rope verbal installation, putting together a word suitable for the atmosphere from this pliable material. In the top of the charts for family nests, of course, there are eternal words: love, family, joy.
A scratching post, or scratch, for cats is an indispensable and indispensable accessory for your pet. Or do you have two felines? Then, all the more, take the time for a scratching post higher and on a larger scale, perhaps from 2-3 columns. Your younger friends will be delighted with the new comfortable features!

An ordinary rope in itself is unlikely to become a successful decoration for the home, but here you can, with a little effort, create several very original and remarkable things. It will turn out great rope decor.
For example, you can tie a rug out of a rope with your own hands or make an excellent chandelier. Moreover, to create a chandelier as a decor from a rope, special labor and time is not required. But, as a result, it turns out an excellent, simply magnificent designer thing. To make a chandelier, it is enough to inflate an ordinary balloon and randomly, chaotically glue it with a rope. Then the rope is allowed to dry, and the ball is pierced so that it bursts. It remains to fix the lamp in the chandelier and you're done.
Handles of a chest of drawers or drawers of a table, woven of rope, will look original and at the same time practical.
A wonderful and unusual rope decor can be obtained from a regular, old table and rope. If you glue the table over with a rope and open it with varnish, you get a spectacular design element. By analogy, you can also do with bottles and vases of a simple form. For a change, you can lay out flowers and various patterns from the rope on the surface of the bottles pasted over with a rope.
If you are tired of shells and other traditional coastal decor, we offer an unusual idea - a rope as an interior decoration.
The rope decor, which you freely make with your own hands, is also interesting from a practical point of view.
Firstly, given its unreliability, the rope can be used as a strong suspension, replacing traditional hooks and chains.
Secondly, pay attention to the volume of the rope: thanks to it, you can quickly cope with the decoration and spend a minimum of money, and the result will be very impressive and certainly extraordinary.
So if in a nautical style you are attracted not by elegance, but by brutality, in this guide you will find many interesting ideas: what can be made of rope for interior and garden.
We will also touch on the “thin relative of the rope” - the rope. But we will limit ourselves to two of its natural types - jute and hemp (from the latter, sea ropes are made). A rope as a decor will be optimal in those cases when you want to create a more elegant decoration, including for a light accessory.
In addition, we are sure: everyone who likes not only marine style, but also eco and country, should take note of these ideas!
Rope and rope decor for interior items
Do you like special little things? Decorate familiar interior elements with rope or rope decor. Or create a completely new piece of your own personal authorship.
A thick rope can easily act as a catch for linen curtains, thin one - you can wrap a flower pot or make a creative screen. Rope also comes with a colonial mirror frame, towel hooks, or a nautical-style rug.
Fold a thick rope into rings, glue - and you get a basket or pencil holder. And if you wrap some weight with a rope and twist it into a beautiful knot, the door that closes at the wrong time will no longer bother you, the original decor will become an excellent stopper.
Rope and wood shelves
What can be made of a rope? For starters, it can be used for its intended purpose - to hold heavy objects. The rope threaded through the holes in the planks looks amazingly impressive. The top of the rope can be suspended from the ceiling, ceiling beams, window slopes or other elements.
Such shelves can be hung in the closet, above the window, in the office - and you will have a wonderful, but at the same time practical interior detail. In a nursery or a teenager's, you can add maps, shells and other marine souvenirs to such a shelf - your child's room will look like a cabin of a real “sea wolf”.
Decor for lamps
A tight rope can be tied around the leg of a floor lamp, a thin rope can be glued to the base of a table lamp from top to bottom, and a banal suspension of a ceiling lamp can be threaded into the rope.
Do you want to bask in the memory of the sea even on dark cold evenings? Take out the Christmas garland from the mezzanine and wrap it with a thin rope. Glue the flat shells to the base of the bulbs and you're done!
For such a rug, you will need a sufficient amount of not too thick jute or sisal rope, scissors and a hot glue gun. First, with the help of glue, individual elements of the carpet are formed from the rope, and then the elements are glued into a single canvas (for a complex carpet, you can draw a diagram or glue the elements randomly).

Interior baskets made of cord
These baskets are sewn with a zigzag seam from rather thick, but not too dense braided cords.
Organizer for things, decorated with rope / cord
To make such an organizer, you can take both cotton cord and sisal / jute rope. It is better to take a cord or rope of sufficient thickness. You will also need a suitable base container and a hot melt glue gun. The base can be round (for example, a plastic basket) or rectangular (wooden or plastic box) bottom. Glue the cord to the base, coil by coil, cut and glue the tip well at the end. You can add a sign with an inscription - for example, from a piece of leather.

Rope basket
Such a basket is made without a base, so it turns out to be soft, unlike the organizer from the paragraph above. In order for the layers to hold better, they should be sewn together using thick strong threads and glued together. Threads, among other things, perform a decorative function here. The gaps wrapped in thread can hide where two pieces of rope meet.

Vases, braided with ropes
The basis here is glass vases of various shapes. If you want the decor not to stick to the glass and the vases can be taken out of the rope "covers" and washed, try to make sure that the glue does not get on the glass in the places where the ropes are glued. If this option is not important, you can glue it directly onto the glass. In the same way, you can arrange a tin can, having previously processed the sharp edges.

Rope stool seat
First, the stool is braided with one kind of rope / cord, then, perpendicularly, while creating a pattern, with the second. The ends of the first type of rope are fixed with a furniture stapler. The ends of the second must be secured by tying knots.
In everyday life, we often need a rope. Ropes, ropes, etc. are not a household tool that is kept in stock and in a wide variety. Therefore, if there is something, it is usually inappropriate for the moment. How to make a strong rope yourself and quickly? The only thing you need is a spool of thread.
It will be very good if the bobbin thread itself is initially strong, for example, any reinforced thread. If it is not there, then a simple thread will also work, you will need to use more threads for the required rope thickness.
How to make rope from a plastic bottle
Plastic bottles are the real scourge of our time. But any waste can be used, so the question of how to make a rope out of a bottle is no longer an issue. You will need to make a simple bottle cutter.
What can be done from the rope with your own hands
The variety of things that can be made from ordinary rope is impressive today. Rugs and rugs are woven from the rope, pictures and panels are made. From twine, in combination with natural materials such as shells, dried roots, etc., masterpieces of wall decorations are obtained.
The macrame technique cannot be ignored either. 
Crafts in the form of animals, flowers, stands for vases and the vases themselves, woven from a rope, are a beautiful and stylish home decoration. Women's jewelry, such as beads woven with beautiful knots, bags, wallets, clothes, all this can be made from ordinary rope. 
Only habit can limit the use of the rope for purely domestic purposes. If you let your imagination run wild, you will find a dozen more ways to use a simple rope in a non-standard way and make your home more comfortable and more entertaining.
