DIY Rope Basket

   Below I will be demonstrating how to make a rope basket that is perfect for holding pencils, hair brushes, make-up tools and much more! 

What you'll need:

Tie-Dye Kit                        Pencil Holder (Guide)

Knitting Yarn                     Red Solo Cup (Mold)
Hot Glue Gun                    Clothesline 100 ft (15 yards per basket)

Step ONE: 

Cut 3 strings into 5 yards and then braid (Above) 

Step TWO: 

Hot glue ends and start coiling the rope, continue gluing in between each coil

Step THREE: 

My base is measured at 3.5 inches, it hugs around my "Guide". After you make your base start coiling directly above each braid. 

Step FOUR: 

Continue using guide and hot gluing, start leaving the front unglued since it will be used for initialing

Step FIVE: 

Make sure 5 inches of the front is not glued and glue the end to the inside of the basket

Step SIX: 

Pour water and desired color dye in container..... Let basket sit for 30 minutes to an hour for a deeper color

Step SEVEN: 

Place basket on Mold and leave overnight (This keeps the shape while the dye is hardening) 

Step EIGHT: 

Start wrapping yarn around unglued coils forming a letter

Step NINE: 

Once letter is executed, hot glue all of the remaining 5 inch. open spaces 

.....and Voila

Beautiful Baskets!
