Easy Jute Placemats

Now that I have a bigger outdoor table, I am ready to entertain on the back patio. I have been looking for some jute placemats for a while now and thanks to a random trip to the craft store, was able to make some easy jute placemats for a fraction of the cost if I bought them retail.

These jute placemats are so simple to make and take no time at all. If you can twirl jute in a circle and navigate a hot glue gun around some old placemats, you can make these easy jute placemats.

Easy Jute Placemat Tutorial

  • Twist the jute rope in the center of the placemat creating a circle. Glue it down.
  • Continue to make a circle around the entire placemat, using your glue to secure along the way.
  • Snip away any part of the placemat that is not covered by rope. Cut any excess rope.

Additional helpful tips:

  • Make sure your jute is wound tight. Try not to leave any gaps in your circle. 
  • Don’t apply too much glue….more to pick off when you are done.
  • The desired size of the placemat is up to you and the base you are using. The old place mats that I used are fairly large, so I just cut off the excess when I was done.
