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)
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!
