    Sisal Rope Tree

    I made a sisal rope tree. I may need an intervention. But see, I ordered a big thing of sisal rope earlier this year and I really do think it’s perfect for Summer projects.

    Sisal Rope Tree

    I started writing a round-up of my sisal projects a week or so ago and thought of another idea for the rope while writing the post. I forget things really easily so I opened a word document and wrote the idea down…just so I wouldn’t forget. Round-up posts are sometimes kind of blah so I’m going to spare you guys. At least for now.

    While killing time the other day, waiting on paint to dry, I went to work on the sisal project. Glad I wrote the idea down earlier.

    reclaimed board

    I found the board in my wood stash. I think I was playing with color combos once upon a time and this was the test board.

    white washed wood

    I did a little white wash over the blue and green paint then distressed just a bit.

    supplies for sisal tree

    I gathered my supplies and started cutting the sisal into various lengths. The starfish were purchased with the idea of using them as stars on a flag. I'll get to that project one of these days. You might remember I used one of the starfish on my rusty seashell bucket.

    hot glue for craft projects

    I didn’t measure the sisal pieces. ... just eyeballed, chopped, and chopped some more. Remember, everything doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s better that way. Hot glue worked the best for getting the rope down with the least amount of effort.

    You have to see the furniture drawer with sisal rope handles...just click here!

    If you noticed in the earlier supply photo there are only two starfish. I kept working and placing those two and couldn’t get them to look just right….so I added one more. I love asymmetry.

    I’m stepping away from the sisal for the remainder of August….promise.

    Do you like my little tree? It’s definitely a nautical or coastal look. Could hang in a beach home year round.

    See you guys tomorrow when I unveil my “red” project. Have a great day.
