Rope is such a simple and apparently rough item, yet it can help create some really interesting looks if used creatively. In this article we’re going to present you 25 ways in which you can use rope to create vintage elements for your home. They are all simple and yet to create and they all involve rope.

1. Rope wrapped bar stools

This project is so simple and it has spectacular outcomes. All you need for this is a bar stool that you don’t necessarily like, some rope and glue sticks. First you’ll need to remove the foot rests from the stool. Then cut the legs down and use black spray paint before wrapping them in rope (this is optional). You’ll need about 3 ½ rolls of 50 foot long sisal rope for each stool. Simply spread a little hot glue on the front and back of the legs and wrap the rope around.{found on apartmenttherapy}.

2. DIY Wrapped Bottles

This is another interesting and fun project that I’m definitely going to make. For this you’ll need assorted wool or varying width and material, adhesive glue, a paint brush, scissors and some assorted empty bottles. First choose the colors that you’re going to use. Then paint glue on the bottle and start wrapping the wool. Start from the bottom and work your way to the top. Keep all joint at the back and be creative.{found on penelopeandpip}.

3. DIY Rope Vases

This project is similar to the one before. These lovely textured rope vases sued to be sad empty cans. With some creativity and some simple materials you can turn them into beautiful pieces of artwork. You’ll need a bit of hot glue and various balls of jute and piping cord. Start at the bottom and wrap the rope around securing with the odd squirt of hot glue as you go. Have fun!{found on creativeinchicago}.

4. DIY Nautical Rope Vase

For these beautiful vintage centerpieces you’ll need glass or plastic vessels, natural sisal rope, wood stir stick or spatula, ceramic tile adhesive, drop cloth or cutting mat to protect the work surface, scissors and kitchen sponge. First clean and dry all vessels and prepare your workspace. Scoop up a generous amount of tile adhesive with the spatula and spread an even layer across the bottom and sides of the vessel. Begin by wrapping the rope into a coil shape to cover the bottom of your vessel and then continue to wrap the rope around the sides. To finish, cut the rope at an angle so that it will lay flat against the side of the vessel and you’re done.{found on ruffledblog}.

5. Rope wall

This project is a little more elaborate. The main idea is to use rope to create a nice wall decoration. The construction process is pretty simple. The wood boxes need to be custom built with evenly space rope sized holes drilled through the top and bottom. Then you need to cut sections of rope and tie them at the bottom. The knots will be hidden once you screw close the open side of the box. The rope wall will have a great impact and will make an awesome decoration for your home.{found on the-brick-house}.
