What is rattan?
Rattan is a wild plant (part of the palm family) that grows as a vine. It offers several advantages: It is both flexible and sturdy, and it is also impact-resistant. Rattan is primarily used to create woven items.
Wickerwork is the art of weaving flexible plant materials such as willow, reed, rattan, and raffia to create various objects, such as baskets, round baskets, planters, mirror frames, handbags, and even jewelry.
Rattan was very fashionable in the 1950s and 1960s, and it’s making a comeback thanks to the strong influence of Scandinavian design.
What can you do with this disc?
This rattan disc lends itself to many DIY projects. It can serve as the base for bohemian dangling earrings—simply add an earring hook. To enhance the design, it pairs easily with cowrie shells, wooden beads, gold-tone metal accents, or tortoiseshell-effect acetate pieces. You can also personalize it by embroidering raffia or colored thread directly onto its surface for an even more handcrafted look.
