These coasters, called trivets, remind me of boat knots that my dad used to make when he had his sailboat back in the day. I was pleased to find out from DesignSponge that I can make them myself! Here are some instructions how to make your own. Before you get started here is what you will need:
-14 feet of 1/2” rope for an approximately 8” trivet
(they recommend you play around with different lengths and thicknesses of rope until you find a size and style you like. the cotton rope is great for this project, but we couldn’t resist the nylon rope with its amazing patterns and colors.)
-scissors
-needle
-thread
