Stitch Up a Festive Holiday Rope Tray

Bring extra charm to your holiday décor (or your handmade gift giving!) with the Sulky Holiday Rope Tray Kit. This festive project combines the cozy texture of rope crafts with beautiful machine embroidery for a one-of-a-kind piece that’s both practical and decorative.

🎄 What’s Inside the Kit

The Holiday Rope Tray Kit includes everything you need to create one stunning tray. Plus, there’s enough rope included for a small coordinating basket! Depending on your chosen size and embellishments, each tray takes about 50–80 feet of rope. With 100 feet included, you’ll have plenty of room to experiment and personalize your creations.

And the best part? You’ll also receive a machine embroidery design, the Gingerbread Wreath from Embroidery Library/Urban Threads, with purchase of the kit. The design comes in two sizes, perfect for customizing the tray base or adding a sweet accent to other projects.

🧵 How to Make It

If you’re new to rope sewing or just want to level up your technique, register for our Creative Rope Baskets Session. This class walks you through every step of creating rope projects using your sewing machine, from coiling the base to shaping the sides and finishing your basket.

When you purchase the Session, you’ll receive the Vibrant Notions Wreath embroidery design (a $10.98 value) free, along with access to Sulky Support Staff who can guide you along the way.

Already have the Session in your Library? You’re in luck! You’ll find a brand-new bonus lesson dedicated to the Holiday Rope Tray, complete with a full video tutorial and helpful tips for success. Just head to your Library to start stitching!

✨ Holiday Crafting Made Simple

Whether you’re creating a centerpiece for your holiday table, a catch-all for festive treats, or a heartfelt handmade gift, the Holiday Rope Tray adds the perfect touch of texture and charm. Pair it with the Creative Rope Baskets Session for endless rope-sewing inspiration—then embellish your finished pieces with embroidery, fabric scraps, or festive trims.

Need more rope to make several baskets? Add just the clothesline rope to your kit order to make several to give as gifts.

Maybe you need more stabilizer nad needles, too. Grab our “Base” rope basket kit to get extra of those items with your Rope Tray Kit.

✨ How to Use Your Holiday Rope Tray

Once your tray is stitched and embroidered, you’ll find endless ways to enjoy it all season long!

Use it as a catchall for keys, mail or small holiday trinkets near your entryway.
Dress it up as a decorative accent for your holiday table—just add a candle, greenery or mini ornaments.
Turn it into a hot cocoa bar by filling it with mugs, cocoa mix and festive toppings for cozy gatherings.

Whether you keep it for yourself or gift it to someone special, your handmade tray is sure to bring holiday warmth wherever it’s displayed.
