I've been climbing now for 14 years. Wow. That's hard for me to believe. During that time frame, Frank and I have probably gone through about 5 ropes. We've upcycled a fair share, but I could definitely make quite a few more things. Here are 10 fun upcycle ideas for ropes.
1. Rope Swings. We've made a few swings now for Cooper with old ropes and they are so strong. Finding a suitable tree is the hard part...
2. Dog Leashes.We have about 5 of these we've made for our dogs. Super strong and last. I wonder if I should try selling these at the next craft show seeing how well the doggie treats were selling.
3. Rope Covered Lamp (Jute in this case). I've done this one as well. We had a terribly ugly lamp that I covered over with jute and it made it so much better!
4. Rope Seat Stools. I haven't done this, but looks nice and simple.
5. Make Floor Mats or Rugs! There are braided versions and circle rugs too!
6. Rope Bookends. I love the cube shapes. Cute for a nautical theme.
7. This is a bit ambitious, but you can make all kinds of furniture out of rope like this Chair.
8. Make a Jump Rope. This has to be the easiest project. I'd just use tape for the handles...
9. Or a Rope Ladder. We might have to add one of these to our Power of Tower outside.
10. Dresser Handles/Pulls. Love this look.
