Jute Art of India

In India especially in Kerala,karnataka and Andhra pradesh there is huge cultivation of Coconut trees and apparently lots of jute is the by product of coconuts.So the local people came up with creative ideas of making jute a main component for art pieces.And now Jute industry is one of leading industries in India.
Today I am sharing these beautiful coasters which we use in our everyday life.
