Gather all your materials.

Start by creating a base (if you’re using one). Otherwise, skip to the winding of the rope. Simply draw a circle on the fabric, using the wooden disk as a template.

Cut the fabric out using the scissors and mark the exact middle with your pen.

Cut the start of your rope at an angle, forming a tip on the end of the rope. This makes it easier to glue down.

Loop the tip of the rope back onto itself, forming a loop. Glue this loop down and give it a minute to dry.

Now, place the loop on your base (if you’re using one), using the dot as your center guide.

Start winding the rope around itself. Keep the rope tight, gluing it down as you go. Make sure you don’t use too much glue!

Once you reach the end, cut the tip of the rope into a pointed shape once again.

Glue the end down, and you’re done. One beautiful, professional-looking, beachy coaster.
