DIY No-Sew Rope Baskets

Step 1

Cover a metal pail with a sheet of parchment paper to provide a layer of protection and to form a barrier against the glue.

Step 2

Begin by forming a tight coil of rope to serve as the base of the basket. Working in small sections, use the hot glue gun to glue the rope together as you coil it.

Step 3

When the base is the desired size (slightly bigger than the base of your pail), place the pail on top of it and begin to coil the rope vertically, using the shape of the pail to help you structure your basket.

Step 4

When the basket reaches the desired height, cut the rope and use the hot glue gun to firmly adhere the end of the rope to the basket. Remove the pail from inside the basket.

Step 5

To add handles, cut a strip of leather to size and attach to the basket with hot glue.
