How To Easily Create A Stunning Braided Jute Centerpiece
Centerpieces can be expensive – that’s why I love creating my own. When I alternate my centerpieces, it really does give my room a whole new look. It’s so easy to switch them around especially depending on the season.
I’m a huge fan of jute or as some folks call it – rope. There’s something so beautiful about decor with jute. I’ve created a few other pieces with it so you know I’m a huge fan. I’ve decorated a Pier 1 Knockoff lamp and some beautiful mason jars, and now created a stunning braided jute centerpiece!

How To Easily Create A Stunning Braided Jute Centerpiece
You can easily make one too! There are so many crafting projects you can make with jute.

I decided to use a wider jute than I normally do, and I’m so glad I did. It was perfect for braiding – braided jute is simply beautiful, and you can make so many things from it.
I like using thinner jute on my other crafting projects but of course you can choose the style you prefer.


I started with two Unfinished Wood Planters Boxes and as soon as I saw them, I knew exactly what I wanted to create. All I had to do was take my glue gun and glue them together in the shape I had in mind.
I love the shape I chose below. There are so many designs you can create – even place them side by side.

Before you start the braiding process, be sure to cut the jute a little larger to account for the loss of size when you braid. Then make sure you use your glue gun to attach the ends – wait for the glue to dry and then start braiding.

Once you make your braid, just start gluing!

Keep adding your rows making sure you place the braids close to each other.

Finish off the edging with a single row of jute to add the finishing touches. Since I didn’t have enough room for another row of braids, I decided to take two strands and twist them together. I love how it turned out.

You can use some jute to decorate the top trim as well.

I love using artificial succulents for centerpieces. They look so real and can be very colorful.

I hope you get to create a beautiful jute centerpiece soon too. Jute is so relaxing to work with and very forgiving.

I love working with jute and have another project lined up soon that I want to try and recreate.

I love the look of this centerpiece! The idea to braid the jute was brilliant. Can’t wait to try this on a project soon. Great idea, nice work!
Carol Ann! I wondered if you have tried magnetic eyelashes..saw an ad on your page when I was looking at the rope boxes..don’t think you have control over those random ads, but I am curious how well they work. (Eyelashes). Susan
You have me in love with Jute now. Honestly, I adore the braided jute boxes and how you glued them together in a different shape is inspiring.
I have seen many diys using jute. While cute I never thought using. But this I love! Braiding it was brilliant (as another commenter said). Am doing this for sure. thank you for the lovely idea.
Thanks much Heather! You can do so much with jute…I can’t wait to create something else. I want to paint it next time!

The jute looks great with the succulents. Very creative!
It’s amazing how different the jute looks after it’s been braided. The pattern is beautiful, it kinda looks like an intricately woven basket. It’s a great idea Carolann, I think I’ll be braiding quite a lot of jute ;-)
Thank you Claire. I had a lot of fun with this project. You can do so much with jute!

I did something super similar a few years ago but instead of the wood boxes … I used old cereal boxes! Such a fun craft for sure!
Carolann, this is such a pretty centerpiece! You made the tutorial sound so easy too. It’s really made those wooden boxes look professional. I can tell you’ve definitely done this a few times!
Thanks so much Florence, it was actually my first time! I never did anything with jute like this before and it was so much fun. I can’t wait to try something else soon.
Carolann
Hi Ashley, thank you! Oh wow, what a great idea. Is it still on your blog? It really is a fun craft. I can’t wait to make something else with jute.
Carolann
Hey Carolann, I too love working with jute and other cords and really like how you decided to braid the jute for your project. It makes a great centerpiece…ones that you will be able to use for years to come.
Well done!

I am in the process of crafting some items for my sister’s recently purchased Beach House.
She loves Coastal decor and I was wondering if you could present some of your creations that will work just right for me to craft for her.
I definitely will be using the braided jute you recently posted.
I need more items, please.
Thanks
