Lady wraps 15 cheap plastic hula hoops in heavy natural jute rope. Neighbors keep asking about this backyard hack!

Transform your backyard into a cozy oasis with these DIY oversized rustic faux-rattan hanging chairs. By wrapping inexpensive plastic hula hoops in heavy natural jute rope, you can create stunning and durable seating that adds a touch of bohemian charm to any outdoor space. This project is perfect for those looking to enhance their garden or patio with a unique and budget-friendly solution that will impress neighbors and provide a comfortable place to relax.

These hanging chairs should be styled in a garden or patio setting, ideally suspended from sturdy tree branches or a strong overhead beam. Pair them with soft, neutral-toned cushions or throws to enhance the natural jute texture. Surround the area with potted plants, string lights, and outdoor rugs to create a cohesive and inviting outdoor living space. The earthy tones of the jute rope coordinate beautifully with wood and greenery, creating a serene and organic aesthetic.

15 plastic hula hoops (24-inch diameter)

Secure the ends of each hula hoop with adhesive to ensure they remain circular and stable.

Begin wrapping the jute rope tightly around one hula hoop, securing the end with adhesive. Continue wrapping until the entire hoop is covered. Repeat this for 14 more hula hoops.

Take 6 of the wrapped hula hoops and align them vertically to form a large spherical shape. Secure where the hoops intersect with additional rope or adhesive.

Use the remaining 9 hoops to create the seat and support structure: intertwine 3 hoops to form a circular base and attach the remaining hoops vertically and horizontally to form a supportive basket shape.

Secure the seat structure to the spherical frame using more jute rope, ensuring the chair is balanced and stable.

Attach hanging hardware securely to the top of the chair and hang from a sturdy support, ensuring it can bear the weight safely.

Add outdoor cushions or throws for comfort and style.

For a more colorful version, consider using dyed jute rope in shades that complement your outdoor decor, such as deep greens or blues. Alternatively, incorporate LED string lights within the frame for a whimsical touch that makes the chairs glow softly at night. For added durability, especially in wetter climates, consider sealing the jute with a clear, weatherproof spray. This project can also be adapted for indoor use by creating a smaller version suitable for children or as a unique decorative piece in a rustic-themed living area.
