DIY rope balls
For this craft, you will need the following materials:
- Becheva;
- Glue;
- Balloons;
- Varnish;
- Needle.
Work progress:
- To get started, you need to prepare balloons and inflate them to the required diameter.

- Pierce the ball with a needle and carefully remove it.

Convenient rope organizer
An organizer is needed for various pencils, pens, felt-tip pens and other stationery items. For this craft, you will need all the same materials only with the addition of cardboard boxes and various decor finishes. You also need to draw up a rough sketch of the work.
- Before winding the string around the cardboard boxes, apply a small amount of glue to them.
- It is important that the subsequent turn of the twine is pressed as tightly as possible against the previous one and does not squeeze the row soaked in glue.
- It is necessary to wrap the entire structure. This should be done with other details as well.
- The main thing is to wait until all structural elements are completely dry and only then combine them into a single craft, covering them with varnish.
If you wish, you can decorate the organizer with beads, beautiful ribbons, shells and so on.
Rope shelves
Another interesting variation of a practical craft is a shelf that is held on strong ropes. This design must be carried out carefully, observing safety precautions.
Materials:
- Planks;
- Perforator;
- Rope;
- Wood paint.
The workflow here is simple:
- To begin with, make holes in the planks and stretch a string through them.
- First, knots are tied under the first plank and then under the rest.
- The structure can also consist of one board. It all depends on the desire.
You can also paint the product in any color or simply paint it with wood varnish.
Rope mirror frames
For such a product you will need:
- Mirrors (preferably round or oval);
- Twine;
- Glue;
- Frame.
Before starting, prepare the frame for the mirror. You can buy it in a store or cut it out of thick cardboard or plywood.
- Then they carefully glue this base to the mirror and after it is finally fixed, they begin to wrap it with a string.
- The parts where the joints are formed and the loop fastening is formed are hidden under the grip.
- At the end of the work, the rope frame can be decorated or simply painted.
These crafts made of rope and twine can be presented as a gif.webpt for any significant holiday.Also, cute and unusual mirrors will serve not only to complement the interior, but also to create your own atmosphere.
Comfortable chair seat
This kind of craft from a bundle of rope and twine will serve very well in everyday life and will decorate the interior of an apartment or a private house.
Prepare the following materials:
- Several types of ropes (you need one to be thicker than the other);
- Furniture stapler or glue;
- Wooden base for the stool.
It may seem that the work flow is rather difficult, but in practice this is not the case. Weaving patterns can be found on the internet.
- As soon as you have chosen what the sketch of the future chair will be, you need to start weaving it.
- To begin with, the stool is wrapped with one rope (the one that is thicker in diameter).
- The same actions are repeated with the second rope, only perpendicularly, thereby setting the composition.
- The remaining parts of the first rope can be fixed with glue if a furniture stapler is not available.
- Tie the knots at the ends of the second string.

Cozy jute rug
Such a hand-made jute rope craft will definitely decorate any decoration in the house.
Materials for making:
- Jute rope (it should be thin enough);
- Glue;
- Scissors.
To compose a single canvas, separate circles are prepared from the rope. They can be of different sizes.
- When forming them, you can use a hot glue gun instead of the usual one.
- After the individual parts of the carpet are glued together and have time to dry, they are assembled into a single picture.
- If you wish, you can complicate the rug with some patterns.
Simple and practical basket
Required materials:
- Strong rope;
- Glue;
- Scissors;
- Threads.
The basket is sewn with a thick, strong rope. Also, in order for it not to deform, you need to use glue, since this craft is done without a base. You can also use various decorative elements here, including colored threads or ribbons. The gaps between the ropes are wrapped with threads (ribbons).
In addition to the decor, they overlap parts of the rope joint. This interesting and easy-to-use basket will serve not only as an excellent organizer, but also as an addition to the interior of an apartment or a private house.
