You Will Need (4 things)
- Scissors
- Needle And Thread
- Nylon Rope
- Lighter
Steps (8 steps, 30 minutes)
-
1
Take the rope and hold it from any one end. Use a lighter to burn the edge.
-
2
Prepare the needle and thread (use 2 strands of thread) and attach it with the rope on the burnt end by tying a knot. Make a small spiral (or swirl) on that end and stitch the spiral using needle and thread.
-
3
Now circle the rope around that spiral and again stitch the second round of rope all the way through as shown in the picture, I circled the rope 3 times for the center stitching.

You'll have to circle the rope and stitch it at the mean time. Stitch every outer circle of the rope with the previous circle of the rope (see picture), this way every single spiral will be attached to each other and the coaster will be secure. See the pictures of this step.

5
Try to keep the stitches hidden. If you follow the technique I used the stitches won't be visible. Simply stitch the rope from vertical center each time.

6
Once the spiral rope reaches the required size- you can stop circling the rope. Do 2-3 stitches on that end. Slightly fold the rope, hold it tightly with the spiral rope and stitch the folded edge with the spiral rope.
-
7
keep doing the same until you reach the last fold or wave. When you'll reach the last fold/ wave measure the length of rope you'll need - to make the last wave. Cut the rope by keeping half an inch extra, burn the end using a lighter. Press the burnt end with the spiral rope and stitch.

Tie a knot when you're done! Enjoy!
