Easy DIY Rustic Accessories For Coastal, Cottage, or Country Table

I'm going to be making several coastal tablescapes this summer and needed a few accessories. Since I didn't want to go shopping, I began with what I already had in the house. In the back of a drawer, I found 4 clear plastic napkin rings someone once gave me. I'm not sure that I've ever used them. I have a ball of jute in a box of supplies. The gauge of the cord is a little bigger than I would buy for this project, but my challenge is to make do with what I have.
Starting with what I had - 4 plastic napkin rings and jute. I glued jute around napkin rings.
Napkin rings finished. I had saved a honey jar. Removed label and dried jar.
First, I made a knot in the end of the jute. I wrapped the jute around the top of the jar and cut the cord long enough to make a handle (which is more for looks than use). I made a knot in the other end and pulled it through the wrapped jute to tie it.
Second, I put a dab of glue on the glass at the bottom of the jar, but the jute would slip off even more than on plastic. Again I put a small piece of tape on end of glued jute to fasten it to the glass jar. I applied glue on top of the tape and under jute as I wrapped around jar. I snipped the jute and applied glue to the end. I held it down with the side of the scissors.
Finished napkin rings and jar. I then filled jar with sea shells for a coastal accessory.
