Rope Basket

Lately I have been seeing other Bloggers making rope baskets. I absolutely love the looks of them! They are stylish, they can go with any look that you want. Farmhouse, Modern, Rustic, etc. I thought I’d make one. I’m so glad I did too, it was fun to make! Let’s get started.

Supplies Needed:

Small rope ( I bought mine at the Dollar Store)

Twine

Hot glue gun & hot glue sticks

Bucket of choice

Scissors

We will start at the bottom of the bucket and work our way up.

Add a little bit of hot glue, then put the beginning of your rope on top of the hot glue being careful not to burn yourself. Then add a little more glue and continue with the rope continuing around the bucket.

As you go around the bucket with the rope, make sure you are pulling the rope a little tight and each strand of rope is directly next to the previous row. So the color of your bucket is not showing through.

Keep going till you are at the top of the bucket or the desired spot you’d like to end at. I went to the top of mine. There is a tiny bit of white showing at the top of the ridge. You can either add some embellishments, fake floral, beads or leave it. The choice is all yours!

On the handles I took the twine and wrapped it around the handles, adding hot glue every so often.

Voila! The completed basket. Now the hard part is figuring out if I want to keep my yarn in it or blankets. The possibilities are endless! Feel free to send me your photos. I would love to see your baskets!
