What You Need For Your Jute Rope Rug

How To Assemble Your Jute Rope Rug

Unravel the ends of the rope carefully and add a bit of adhesive to the inside. Press it together firmly until it is secure. This prevents fraying. Put a lot of glue around the end of the rope, you don’t want it to work loose over time.

End Preparation

On a large flat surface, place the piece of cloth down. Adhere the one end of the rope tightly to itself.

Starting The Rug

Draw a small spiral with the glue in the centre of the cloth. Press the coiled rope down onto the adhesive.

Glue it Bigger

Add adhesive to both the edges of the rope and the cloth as you are coiling the rope up.

Keep Adding GLue And Rolling

Repeat this process until all of the rope is used up.

Roll To The End

Cut off the excess cloth to finish up the rug and use the adhesive to adhere any loose parts around the edges for a better finish. Allow the glue to dry overnight before using it.

Trim The Excess
