The final farewells of some of history's most iconic royals
Why not put to use loose rope by making a sign out of it? A "welcome" sign always works. And what about spelling out your affection for a loved one?
Handcrafting a rope bowl serves as storage for all sorts of loose items.
Here's a great idea! Why spend a fortune when you can make a necklace or bracelet out of twisted, braided, or beaded rope.
Use natural wood as shelving (flotsam, or marine debris, works wonders) and then secure by hanging on ropes.
Weaving or braiding a small rug or carpet out of rope is well worth the effort for the appealing—and practical —end result.
Your pet pooch will love you for creating a rope pet toy, something any playful canine can gets its teeth into.
Cat lover instead? Well, spare your expensive upholstery by making a cat scratching post. And the best thing about it? The rope can easily be replaced once it's worn and frayed.
Enhance your home by making it more earthy and natural looking by wrapping selected furniture in rope. Stools and coffee tables benefit well from this particularly creative makeover.
You can either replace existing drawer handles with rope, or start from scratch. Either way, drawers, trays, baskets, and other household items look super chic as a result.
Rope is easily used to hang a picture frame. But it can also be employed to showcase lots of other things, for decorative or practical purposes.
Indoor pot plants enliven any home interior. But why not hang them using braided and knotted rope?
How simple is this idea? Use a short length of rope to fashion a keychain. Make a fob out of wood or cork.
A long, thick length of rope makes an excellent dog leash. You'll need a claw hook to attach it to your dog's collar, after which you'll be taken for a good long walk.
A trendy and environmentally-sound fashion statement, a rope handbag not only looks good, it feels good too.
A coiled rope basket serves all sorts of practical storage purposes. But it makes a pretty good decorative piece as well.
Wrapping rope around a glass jar as a homemade vase project looks so boho. But it's practical too: if the vase takes a tumble, chances are the rope will cushion the fall, leaving you to mop up spilled water rather than sweep up broken glass.
How about this for a four-poster idea? You'll need plenty of good, strong rope and heavy, dark wood to put it all together.
Sometimes it's the simplest things that count. Forget flashy metal and instead use thin coils of rope wrapped around a cardboard toilet paper tube to create these fantastic rope napkin rings.

Talk bout a lightbulb moment. Enrich your residence with this simple rope pendant idea. Just twist some rope around existing lights' cord. No need for any pricy rewiring.
Always a good idea. Curtains can be tied back using rope as attractive fasteners.
Don't bother replacing scuffed or discolored lampshades. Instead, make them over using coiled rope.
This interior furnishings idea will lend your home a distinctly nautical look. Stair rope (pictured) is tough and durable, while banister rope is equally strong and considered a safety barrier.
Actually, you can also use rope as stair trim, which helps protect the staircase against errant shoes and boots.
Use rope as the foot guard and, if possible, cork for the undersole. Comfortable, stylish, and wallet-friendly.
Idle away the day in a rope swing chair. Always a stylish addition to any home or garden.
Still in the garden, use plenty of heavy rope to secure lamps or lights to posts or overhangs.
This is a lovely way to complement natural wood furnishings. Fashion pliable cotton rope around any lampstand and you'll have a unique way of seeing the light.
Good-looking and environmentally friendly, rope coasters work with hot drinks, cold drinks, and the occasional glass of wine. Cheers!
