Basket with jute rope for hanging

Basket with jute rope for hanging

We have in Crafts On another way to make a decorative idea that you may like if your idea is to make something fast and original. We can do some baskets with jute rope. For this we will use a piece of a plastic bottle to wrap the rope, in this case we are recycling. We will wrap the rope around it and we can now form the basket. To hang it we will use a structure made with sticks that we will design in the form of a lattice. It will be very simple to do and it is the one that will allow us to hang it later on a wall.

The materials that I have used for this craft are:

  • 8 sticks about 25cm long
  • jute rope
  • a large plastic bottle
  • black acrylic paint (or whatever color you like best)
  • a brush
  • scissors
  • a glue gun with silicones
  • a piece of red decorative ribbon (or whatever color you prefer)
  • a meter of fine jute rope to make two loops

You can see this craft step by step in the following video:

First step:

You have to paint the sticks black paint and let dry to be able to mount them. We place the sticks in the way we want, they will be in the shape of a lattice. This structure is the one that will support the basket that we make and that will allow us to hang it on the wall.

Second step:

With the sticks in place we are going to stick them with the help of silicone, we raise the sticks a little and we are throwing a glue drop between the joints of both sticks. You have to quickly join the sticks because the silicone dries very fast.

Third step:

We take a plastic bottle that we no longer use and we will cut in the middle with scissors. With the part that we have cut we return to cut it in half but vertically.

Fourth step:

With that part that we have stayed, we will go wrapping with the rope jute around you. We are going to stick it with hot silicone so that the structure of the basket is well made and shaped. When we get almost to the end of the plastic part we can finish. We cut the rope and we hide its end inwards with a little silicone. If we have plastic left over we can cut it out.

Fifth step:

Let's get some decorative ribbon and we stick it with the silicone at the top of the basket. With the fine jute rope that we had reserved, we make two ties and we are going to place them above the decorative tape and in its central part, we will also stick it with the silicone.

Step Six:

We only have to glue our basket with silicone to the structure made with the sticks, we fit it well in the place we want and we have it ready to hang.
