Tips to Make Easy Rolled Twine Coasters
- Use as little hot glue as you can manage these drink coasters. You definitely want to make sure you’re gluing everything in place, but if you have any hot glue that squeezes out through the twine, it’s going to be hard to clean up.
- Use a dark colored felt as you backing. If you use something light, it’s liable to get dirty or just look weird in the edge around the jute coaster. So, choose something that compliments the jute.
- When you’re selecting the jute twine, be sure to pick something thin and flexible. The thicker stuff is great, but for this application something thin is best. That way, you’re not fighting it the entire time you’re working with it.
- If you have them on hand, you can add braided jute rope to the top of wood slices. Make sure they’re the bigger ones from the craft store (not the ornament size) to make proper wood slice coasters.

- Braid the entire length of the three pieces of twine together, then knot the end to secure it.
- Trim one end of the twine at the end of the knot as closely as possible. Glue the knot to the felt circle in the center.
- Working carefully, wrap the braided twine around the knot, gluing the jute in place as you go, forming a spiral. Wrap and glue the twine in place until the circle is completely covered.
- Trim excess twine, tuck the end under the last round of the spiral and glue in place.
