Hello lovely readers! So today I’m sharing this incredibly easy DIY rope trivet mat. I love to serve food straight from the pot. No messing around with presentation here! Having a beautiful trivet that can live on the kitchen table means I can not only serve up meals quickly, but it is also a fantastic place to rest the coffee pot over breakfast, or a refreshing afternoon mint tea. Basically it’s good for all the eating and drinking, which if you’re anything like me that’s reason enough to make this pronto!
Materials
10mm Waxed cotton rope | All purpose adhesive
Instructions
1. Cut a 6″ / 15cm piece of rope, fold in half and glue the two halves together. Press the sides together and hold in place until dry.
2. Spread the glue around the edge of the rope. Take the end of the remainder of the rope and wrap it around the rope lining up the edges.
3. Trim the edge of the rope and repeat step 2.
4. Keep building up the layers until you either run out of rope or are happy with the size of the trivet.

Oooh love this Fran! Love the “half” shape it has. Would be so simple to add a few colourful/painted rope strands to make it pop, too. x
Oh! That’s a great idea Anna! You could even create an ombre effect making each rope a little lighter or darker. Right… I need to go buy more rope!! ;)
Ugh, it’s freaking gorgeous, Fran. Love the design <3.
You are too gorgeous!! Thank you Amy xx
This is such a pretty and easy DIY! I’ll be sure to make one of these when I get my own place!

So perfect! I love the half moon shape
This is so good! So simple and fresh! Love the half moon shape instead of a full circle or oval- somehow it makes it so much more chic!

Nice! Could you tell me how thick the cotton rope is?
Thanks Joëlle!
The rope is 10mm thick. I should have included that in the post. Thanks for reminding me :D
So pretty! Esp. with those tumblers! Can I ask where those are from?
