How to Make an Ocean Plait Mat
Ocean Plait Mat – A great way of protecting your deck or if you just want a decorative mat and if using smaller cord this makes a great coaster.
The actual way of creating a rope mat such as the Ocean Plait is not too difficult. If you follow the video below you will find that it is relatively easy to create the basic shape of the rope mat. More time should be spent gently going around your mat and pulling out all the slack rope. Do not be tempted into trying to do it in one pass!!!
Thank you for the tutorial! I wanted to make a mat in 1:12 scale, and your video and the diagram in the other post were enormously helpful!
I just made one using size #95 paracord and you want to talk about small. By the way I have made a few of them in the past using different size and types of ropes.
