Make your own rug and give your entry way a bit of a nautical touch! Adding fun to your front door area is so easy peasy with this DIY coiled rope rug!
Roughly estimate the final pattern and the size of your coiled rope rug.
Sew the coils as instructed in this tutorial. Make the "trivets" in various sizes.
Sew the trivets together with the same zig-zag stitch you used for making the trivets. This step might pose a few issues if your rug is large because the jute rope is not very flexible. If you find that you are unable to sew the coils together with your sewing machine, grab a large hand needle and jeans thread and hand stitch them together.
After all coils are attached into a rug, place the rope rug on the rubber doormat.
Draw around the rope rug using a chalk pencil. My rubber mat turned out to be a little smaller than the rope rug but I'm not worried. My rug looks so pretty that every is barely touching it with their dirty shoes lol
Once the rug pattern is drawn onto the rubber mat, remove the rope rug and cut out the rubber pattern, using your craft scissors. You need strong scissors with a sharp tip or a razor knife able to offer good hand control.
Cover one side of the rubber mat with construction adhesive. If you decided to purchase the adhesive I recommended you need to move pretty quickly as the adhesive dries out quite fast.
Press the rope rug onto the rubber mat and apply even pressure with a hard object that is larger than the mat. Leave overnight to dry completely.
