Hi everyone! Did you see my jute webbing ornaments a couple of weeks ago? Well I have another jute craft for you today (and may have another next week–I’m going jute crazy). All that burlap-iness and grainstripe-iness in one material. If you like farmhouse, then you love webbing. After fraying one edge to make the ornaments I mentioned, I got to thinking about fraying the opposite side and that’s when it hit me–coasters! But I added one more simple step to make them a bit more special.
I added a stenciled initial to personalize them, but you can stencil anything you like on them.
I had the good fortune of discovering my roll of jute at a nearby garage sale some years ago for the fabulous price of just $4.00. Such a blessing. I’ve been using it quite a bit, too, especially this Christmas. [Someone commenting on a different post over at Hometalk mentioned that I really should give my webbing a good cleaning–lol. It’s really not dirty, just looks that way in the photo!]
To make the coasters, cut pieces of jute about 4″ long and fray the edges, like so.
They should look something like this.
Now it’s time to stencil. I used 2″ stencils I had on hand and applied black acrylic craft paint using my secret applicator (a dollar store make-up sponge).
Done! I’ve been using these for several weeks now and so far the paint has stuck like glue, no amount of condensation or water spills affect the stencil. Nice to know they don’t need a special protective coating.
I decided to make a couple of sets using a star stencil.
They have a nice country Christmas look. I’ve been selling them at the Shaker craft fair for $9.00 a set. What crafts are you working on right now for Christmas?

I love this, Diana! The initial makes them really special! I found a big roll of webbing at a garage sale years back, and I’m still using it! Thanks for sharing!
These are adorable, Diana! I love the star ones! If one was concerned about the paint design not holding up, it could probably be heat-set using an iron. I don’t have a big roll of webbing (wish I did!) but I have a small amount, enough to try some of these fun projects!
I love that jute webbing too…would love to find some. Looks like it’s so versatile for craft projects like you’re doing. Love the coasters, especially the ones with stars. Pinned.
Hi Diana,
What a cute way to use the webbing.
I love the monogram and the stars too.
A great gift to give!
Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week!
Hugs, Kimberley
Very cute, Diana. You do such creative things. I love seeing all the projects you generate from jute webbing. Keep up the good work.
These are so cute…plus they look very fun to make
I absolutely love these! You will be featured tomorrow in the To grandma’s house we go link party, thanks for sharing with us, hope to see you there!
Diana these are really cute. I’ve been looking to make some simple coasters for months now and these look really simple. One question, how do you keep them from unravelling? Merry Christmas!!
Diana, these are great. There are so many possibilities. And…they are simple. Thanks so much!
The coasters are so nice. What a great gift to give or keep for yourself!
I loved all your jute webbing projects but the coasters are my favorite. I am featuring it at the Snickerdoodle party tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
