Tips For Making These DIY Rope Coasters
- If this is your first time making rope coasters, go slowly. The center swirl only takes a few minutes but starting it tightly is the key.
- If you want to make the bunny coaster bigger, add more rope. You can adjust the rope size also to make the bunny coasters bigger or smaller.
- Raid your ribbon stash and use up any scraps – you don’t have to stick to pastels.
- If you’d like, make a set and gift these this to hostesses, family, and friends. A small Dollar Tree basket filled with these and a nice beverage would make for a quick and thoughtful gift.

How to Make Dollar Tree Bunny Coasters with Rope
Below is the step by step for this easy Easter Dollar Tree craft. If you’d like a printable version without images, scroll to the bottom.
First, cut the ribbon so that you have two 4-inch portions. Cut four, 4-inch sections of rope, two for each coaster.
Put glue on the long part of the rope and create a tight coil, working out from the center. Add the glue and keep wrapping the rope around until the base is about 4 inches wide.
Once the coil is made, cut the rope and glue the end onto the outside edge.
Next, form the 4-inch pieces of rope into ear shapes and glue to the back of the coil at the top, leaving a space in between the ears.
Glue the ribbon to the back of the ears so the pattern and color of ribbon show through to the front of the coaster.
