Once the sisal rope was used exclusively for its intended purpose - it bandaged goods during transportation. But her decorative qualities made many people look at her in a new way. Today, from this strong, natural, and most importantly, affordable rope, many useful and beautiful things are done.
How can it be used? Consider a few simple and affordable ideas.
For a pet
Very often a sisal rope is used for a claw point. Owners of cats probably know how much trouble a mischievous pet can do, whose instinct drives them to sharpen their claws about everything that just gets in their way. Furniture, clothes, carpets are damaged ...
But problems are easy to avoid! Just wrap a sisal rope on a board, timber or even an ordinary tree branch and give the cat the opportunity to enjoy the new thing in plenty. Most cats immediately understand why a new accessory is needed, and they are happy to use it for its intended purpose.
The sisal rope does not have frightening smells, because it is made of natural agave fibers, and besides, it poses absolutely no threat to feline health. And when the claw point becomes worthless, simply remove the frayed rope and replace it with a new one. Fortunately, the prices for this product are very low.
Furniture and furnishings
Sisal twisted rope is an excellent material for crafts. With it, you can update worn out furniture or even make something completely new. It attaches well to many surfaces with the help of a glue gun or “Moment” glue, which provides tremendous opportunities for creativity. For example, in the photo presented in the article, you can see the pouf for a summer residence or a veranda made of an old car tire. Just cover it with coarse cloth (for example, jute or burlap), braid it with a rope on top. In some places, reinforce the adhesive.
With a rope you can braid frames for paintings, watches and photographs, wrap the legs of tables and chairs so that they do not scratch the floor. Such furniture will fit perfectly into the style of country, eco or boho.
