String and rope are precious allies when it comes to producing DIY baskets: Just combine them with other materials such as metal networks, cardboard boxes and even plastic buckets, to make practical and personalized containers for every corner of the house.
Metallic and rope network
Get a piece of the metal network, roll it around a circular base of plywood and wrap it with rope, staring it gradually with hot glue. You will get a basket, more or less large and high, depending on the diameter of the base and the height of the network.
Footstool
Have you ever thought about transforming a stool into a basket? Turn it on, cover the base with fabric and wrap it with thick rope, fixing it with hot glue. Cover the interior with the fabric and add two side handles.
Plastic bucket
Even a simple plastic bucket can become a nice basket for linen or children’s games. Cover it outside with thick or rope string, gluing it with hot glue. Inside, insert a lot of fabric as a coating and apply two rope handles on the sides.
Cardboard box
Do you have unused boxes? Remove the upper part and cover the four external sides with string or thin rope. Prepare an internal fabric coating, insert it in the box, leaving it to escape slightly by the edges for a more well -kept effect.
