How to Make a DIY Nautical Rope Wreath
Supply List
- 10″ round foam wreath form (Dollar Tree)
- (5) packages of 8 ft Nautical Rope Jute (Dollar Tree)
- (3) starfish and assorted sea shells if desired
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
Step 1.
To start the wreath, glue an end of the rope to the wreath form.
Step 2.
Wind the rope tightly around the wreath form, and secure with hot glue after every turn.
Step 3.
Continue winding the packages of rope around the wreath form until you reach the end. Try to match up the cut ends of rope on the underside of the wreath form.
Step 4.
Wind the remaining rope around the form, about 2 1/2″ wide, to create a decorative accent. Secure the end in place with hot glue.
Step 5.
Decide the placement of the shells. At first, I was going to use quite a few shells, but then decided that I didn’t want to cover up too much of the rope. Instead, I kept it minimal with just 3 starfish.
Step 6.
Hot glue the starfish (and/or shells) in your desired pattern on the wreath. You can add a bow if you like, but I chose to keep mine simple and unadorned.
I love how my DIY Nautical Rope Wreath turned out! Can you believe I made it for only six bucks?
I had the starfish in my stash, but you can find them at craft stores. If you want to use just shells, they sell bags of shells at Dollar Tree, too.

Love your wreath Rebecca! It looks so high end, no one would ever guess you put it together for $6! Happy to be hopping with you again ♥
Super cute Rebecca. Love how it looks.
Adorable, Rebecca! Perfect for any nautical or beachy theme decor!
I can’t believe this was only $6; it turned out amazing Rebecca! The only thing that could improve on this would be if the rope came in bigger packages – lol!
Very cute Rebecca, I love the simplicity, it really takes you right to the seashore!
