Materials

Also needed, glue gun and glue sticks. Optional items such as fabric for lining or handles. See post for details.

    Instructions

    • Starting on the outside of the basket, add a dollop of glue where the mesh meets the base of the basket. Then press the end of the jute rope into the dollop of glue to hold it in place.
    • Working your way around the bottom of the basket, add a line of glue (working in two inch, or so, increments is suggested) and attach the jute rope in place until you have the bottom row in place.
    • For the second row, place a dollop of glue over the end of the jute that you glued into place to cover it.
    • For the remaining ⅔rds of the basket, work your way around the basket applying the glue and pressing the jute into place.
      Next, repeat this process with the white rope until your reach the top of the basket.
    • When you reach the top of the basket, apply a line of glue on the top rim of the basket and wrap the rope over the top of the wire mesh basket to hide it. Then glue the remaining end of the rope to the inside of the basket
