Farmhouse Rope Coasters for Spring

• white cotton rope– I’ve linked to 55 yards of macrame cord from Amazon that is perfect for the bunny coasters and trays. You could make a 4-piece coaster set, then have plenty left over to make my bunny placemats and this adorable bunny rope tray. I two packs of 11.1ft white cotton rope from Dollar Tree. You can make two (almost 3) bunny coasters with each pack of rope. You’ll have plenty left over from the first pack to make bunny ears for two more coasters as well. They also have thicker white rope that’s 6.4ft per package. Be sure to go over and pin the trays and placemats to make later. They make a cute set!
• fabric for the bunny ears- I used gray and white fabric from Walmart, but this is a great pack of pre-cut squares of fabric in multiple colors and patterns. On the bunny placemats and tray I used a pink fabric with white bunnies on it from Dollar Tree, but I couldn’t find it this year for the coasters. I love the gray fabric because it looks great with farmhouse decor.
• hot glue gun & glue
• transparent tape
• ribbon (optional)- I used pink 1/2″ ribbon.
• twine

Make the base of the bunny coaster.

These bunny coasters are very easy to make. You can make one in about 20 minutes. After you’ve made one, the rest go a little bit faster because you know what you’re doing.

Add hot glue to the end of the white cotton rope.

Make bunny ears.

Cut a piece of rope about 7.5″ long. You can hold the rope up to the coaster to make sure the ear will be as long as you’d like it before you cut the rope. Add tape to the end of the rope so it doesn’t unravel. Try to place as small a piece as you can so that you can glue the bunny ear as close to the edge of the coaster as you can. That can be done before or after you make the cut.

Attach the ears to the bunny coaster.

Squeeze hot glue to the end of one of the rope ears, on the taped sections, and place it on the back of the coaster, about 1/4″ from the end of the rope. Glue it as close to the edge of the coaster as possible so that it still sits flat for your drink.

Make a fabric scrap bow.

For my bow I used strips of the gray and white striped and the polka dot fabrics as well as a 1/2″ pink ribbon. Cut two 2.5″ strips of each fabric and two pieces of the ribbon. You can use the ribbon as a guide to cut the width of the fabric.

Now just enjoy your set of bunny coasters and admire your handy work!

I think these are so cute, and I can’t wait to get the spring decor out of storage to match them up with the bunny rope tray. They will look so good together. I think I’ll place the coasters next to the tray in some sort of vignette. We’ll see what I can come up with a few weeks!
