I’m sharing a fun and easy way to bring some nautical decor into your home today.
DIY Nautical Sisal Rope Coasters.
If you’ve been around here awhile then you know by now that I have a love for nautical decor. It makes appearances all throughout my house.
This is a super easy DIY project that only requires a glue gun, sisal rope, and if you want a stencil and paint. Ready?
Sisal rope comes in this huge roll. I think it costs around $5.00 for a whole roll. Another reason why I love it, it makes a very inexpensive project!
To make the sisal rope coasters I coiled the rope tightly hot gluing them the whole way around. One great thing about these coasters is that you can make them as big or as small as you want.
The anchor stencil for the nautical sisal rope coasters was created using my Silhouette Cameo but you could use any stencil you’d like. I think a monogram would be really cute too. To ensure the paint didn’t bleed under the stencil I used the same Mod Podge trick I used when I painted my DIY door mat. I allowed the Mod Podge to dry and used a small paint brush to paint one coat of black craft paint.
Once it was dry, I gently peeled off the vinyl. The anchor stencil looks perfect to me and gives that extra special beachy feel.
Don’t stop here! You must check out these other sisal rope DIY projects here.

October 19, 2012 at 10:40 pmOh my gosh! These are too cute, Chelsea! What a great idea. So clever and pretty. And I have to say, I love your blog design. I have a bit of a “tab” obsession going on over on my blog, and wish I had found this layout before I bought mine 😉 I would be thrilled if you shared this at my Throwback Thursday party! I hope to see you there and thanks for sharing 🙂 http://www.hubbymademe.com/throwback-thursday-no-15/

December 17, 2013 at 12:59 pmthis is a very nice idea. I have not been crafting much in about a year and a half now. trying to get new ideas and back into crafting, I think people will be happy to get these as a gift. maybe in a set of 4 or 6 . thanks .

August 6, 2014 at 4:15 amHow do you seal the paint so it doesn’t bleed when it gets wet from condensation from a glass?
