How to Make a Rope Basket

Add a dab of hot glue to the end of a rope, then begin wrapping the rope around in a circle.

Continue rolling the rope around in a circle, gluing as you go. I like to add the glue around and then attach the rope as it forms a circle.

Do this until you have reached the size you want your basket to be. Mine is around 8" across.

Once you have created the base that you want, begin moving the rope upwards and securing it with glue, building the sides of your basket.

Continue wrapping the rope around in a circle gluing each layer together until the height you want.

If desired, you can start tapering in the top part of the basket so it is at an angle wider on the bottom.

Once the basket is the height you prefer, cut two lengths of leather cord or thick fabric to create handles.

Glue or sew the handles in place on opposite sides of the basket. Sewing is a better choice for long-term stability.

For best results, slip the fabric through the top few rows of rope so it loops around and has more stability.

Cut a length of lace ribbon and glue around the top edge of the basket.

Add any additional embellishments or flowers to the basket you prefer.

Use it to store items or as a small purse on the go.
