Here are 5 DIY Jute Home Decor Ideas that you can make with jute string.
Jute string is a natural material and can be used in many ways, the most common way of using jute string is probably to tie up packages. But you can use it in many more ways than just that, as you can see below.
It is always better to reuse something than to just throw it away. Especially in today’s world where there is so much plastic, making something out of natural material is always better for the environment and it looks so much better in my opinion.
5 DIY JUTE HOME DECOR IDEAS:
MINI JUTE BASKETS:
These little baskets are perfect for holding your earrings or anything small. They are very easy to make and only need two things, jute string, and glue!
All you have to do is use hot glue and wrap the string in a spiral around itself. When you have a circle big enough for a basket, wrap the jute string on top of itself in a circular motion so you get the sides of the basket. Wrap it as much as you want the height of the basket to be.
When done just finish off with a dab of glue.
JUTE PENCIL HOLDER
This pencil holder is a tin can covered with jute string. There are many ways to make it your own, use paint, beads, markers, ribbon., etc to design your pencil holder.
Wrap the tin can with jute string from top to bottom using hot glue or regular glue. Then decorate however you please!
Use it on your desk for your pens and pencils. It can be used for faux flowers, makeup brushes., etc.
FARMHOUSE WOODEN BEAD GARLANDS:

JUTE-COVERED DECOR BALLS:
My daughter at one point was obsessed with LOL dolls, but now she cannot believe that she actually liked playing with them! 😂
Anyway, the dolls come in these pink plastic balls. So I decided instead of throwing them out, I can recycle them. I covered them with jute string and voilà home decor accents to use in your vases!
All you have to do is wrap the balls using the jute string. I used a hot glue gun.
Here also you can add ribbon, sequins, paint., etc to decorate them.
JUTE COASTERS:
Coasters are just so useful and can be made out of pretty much anything! These jute coasters have that farmhouse feel and are easy to make.
I used a felt circle as a base to make it more sturdy. You can also use a corkboard to make it even better.
After that wrap the jute string around itself in a circular motion using hot glue, keep wrapping until you get the size you need. Cut the string and glue it.
I came across this idea of wrapping the jute string with thread in sections, this makes a really cool coaster too, do check it out on HGTV.com
