Jute products are distinguished by their original appearance and safety. This fiber is made from the plant of the same name. The ropes have excellent strength and moisture resistance. Thread crafts are known its long service life and unpretentiousness... The classic version of jute is a material with a uniform weave, gaps are visible between the threads. In addition, jute fibers are meant to be combined with other types of materials (silk, lurex and polypropylene). There is also a "synthesis" of jute and flax.

The figurine created using the weaving technique looks especially graceful. Such a product will become an undoubted decoration for any interior. It does not require careful maintenance and does not lose its presentable appearance over time.

Another option for making a cat from jute implies the presence of the following materials:

• puff pastry or bottle;
• strong hold glue;
• jute rope;
• scissors.

We sculpt the figure of a graceful cat from puff pastry or take a bottle (we make the shape of the head separately and attach it to the body). Let it dry and wrap it with cling film. Draw patterns with a pencil or pen. According to the scheme, we lay out the drawing with a jute rope. As soon as the body and head of the cat are ready, carefully cut it along the back and remove the figure from the text along with cling film. We glue the body and attach the eyes and nose. We decorate the product with bright decorative stones and rhinestones. In addition, this option can be made even more effective. You can place a light bulb inside the jute figurine, and the cat will turn into a lamp. Undoubtedly, such a product will become an original decoration of any apartment or house.
