Hipster style meets nautical timelessness in the form of these coasters cleverly made from regular old clothesline rope!
Made by Bettina at Oh Everything Handmade, the best thing about this tutorial is learning how easy it is to sew rope together on a sewing machine. We can imagine creating our own coasters like this out of brightly colored rope, or creating larger trivets, placemats, and the like. See how this quartet was made right here.
