Jute beehives are be a bit pricey at the store. I’ve seen them at Hobby Lobby and I knew I could easily make one myself for half the cost. So I grabbed a plastic planter and some nautical rope from Dollar Tree and sure enough I was able to make a super cute jute beehive that not only was cute but was affordable to make too!

SUPPLIES

  • Plastic planter – I got mine at the Dollar Tree
  • Nautical rope – I got mine at Dollar Tree. You can get it at Hobby Lobby or Amazon too The amount of nautical rope will depend on the size of your planter. I used 3 strands of nautical rope for mine.
  • Hot glue
  • Black paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon and raffia

Flip the planter over so the top is the bottom. Add a ribbon of hot glue at the bottom open end as close to the and add your nautical rope.

Continue to add hot glue and wrapping your nautical rope around the planter. If you run out of nautical rope just start with a new roll where you left off.

  1. Instead of just painting to make it look like a hole, paint the interior black, cut an actual hole and use it to hold things. Bit o Honey candy would be perfect,
