One of the projects in the book was sisal braiding, it was being used to make a rug (which is actually amazing - a to do for when I have a bigger home!)* I thought one of the circles would make a great coaster so I decided I'd have a go. I don't have any sisal, but I did have some string, so here is my string coaster.
I cut the string too short so the coaster is a bit smaller than planned. I think I will definately make some more though, and I might use some scraps of material to make a thicker coaster.
*The book is Harding, Mary 'Crafts', Book Club Associates, London 1978
that looks awesome! so do u just plait the string? how did you get it to all stick together? whats next? can u tell im keen and like making new things lol
ReplyDeletegreat post!
Hey Paula
ReplyDeleteYep, just doubled the string (so had 6 strands) and plaited it. Then sewed it around in a spiral.
Making things is always good. I'm not sure what to do next, too many ideas, too little time! :)
