5 stunning jute DIY decor ideas
In home decor, jute emerges as a versatile and sustainable material that brings a touch of natural elegance to any living space. Its aesthetic appeal, eco-friendly nature, and adaptability make it a favorite among those seeking to add rustic yet stylish essence to their home. Here are five easy DIY jute items you can create and decorate your home with.
Jute plant hangers
Craft your own jute plant hanger with ease. Cut four jute rope lengths, knotting them to form a supportive loop for a hanging ring at the base. Leave strategic gaps for pot placement, then gather and secure the strands, trimming excess jute. Place your potted plant and adjust the lengths for a personalized touch. Your plant hanger is ready to elevate your indoor space.
Jute coasters
Trace and cut your desired coaster shape from cardboard, foam, or wood. Apply hot glue to the center, securing the jute twine end. Spiral-wrap the jute, adding glue to maintain a smooth surface on the base. Trim excess twine at the edge, securing the end with glue. Get creative by adding embellishments like dried flowers, coffee beans, or beads.
Jute basket
To craft a jute basket, cut a cardboard base and strips for sides. Apply hot glue on the base, attach jute twine, and wrap it tightly around strips, securing with glue. Continue layering to build the basket's sides. Attach handles using braided jute twine and secure with hot glue. Trim excess cardboard and twine, then adorn with beads or ribbon for a personalized touch.
Jute lampshade
For a rustic touch, inflate a balloon and wrap it with jute twine, soaked with glue. Once it dries, pop the balloon and shape the jute shell. Optionally, paint it for a burst of color. You can also embrace a Bohemian vibe with a Macrame lampshade by knotting jute twine onto dowel rods using macrame techniques, adjusting spacing for your desired pattern.
Jute wall art
Grab some jute twine, a hot glue gun, and a canvas. Begin by gluing one end of the jute to the canvas and spiraling it outward, securing with glue as needed. Create unique patterns or geometric shapes. Experiment with layering and knotting for added texture. Once complete, hang your personalized jute wall art to infuse your space with rustic charm.
