Turn your everyday jute twine into something fun and unique, hand painted twine.

I love Etsy.  Not only do I buy a lot from there, I also find a great deal of inspiration.  Quite some time ago I was doing a little browsing on Etsy and saw some hand painted twine.  I was mesmerized and remembered thinking, “genius.”  It had a perfectly rustic look that really caught my eye.

Rustic hand painted twine. A fun use of jute twine that is great or gift wrap or gifting! livelaughrowe.comI was recently going through my ‘cart’ on Etsy (I tend to add a lot of stuff to my cart, even if it’s never bought. Haha.) Anywho, I noticed the hand painted twine was no longer available.  Womp, womp, womp.  Guess what that meant?  Yep, it meant that I needed to make some.  Woo-hoo!  Of course, I just had to share.

Silly me.  Super easy.  It would be great for gift wrapping, gifting or fill a bowl for decor.  I love how the twine looks on the wooden spools too!  Lots of great options and they’re perfectly imperfect, just the way I like it.

Supplies for Hand Painted Twine:

Jute Twine
Scissors
Metallic Paints
Makeup Wedges
Wax Paper or Newspaper

Supplies for hand painted twine. A fun use of jute twine that is great or gift wrap or gifting! livelaughrowe.comStep One.
Start by laying out wax paper or newspaper.  I used wax paper so that the twine wouldn’t stick — it worked like a charm.

Step Two:
Cut off the desired amount of twine you want to paint. Using the makeup wedges, pat metallic paints onto the twine.

Step Three:
Allow to dry and you’re done!

The gold glitter is harder to see in the picture (see below), but it reminds me of the bakers twine that has hints of gold in it. While I’m not a huge fan of glitter, this gold hand painted twine is perfection. The paint stiffens it a bit too.  I’m in love.

    I love your blog Kelly, thank you! It is summer here (Melbourne, Australia) . My decorations are coning down today and tomorrow, a work in progress! My sewing room is a mess, but will put that together too.
    Looking forward to trying the hard painted twine.
    Have a great weekend.?
