How to Create a Unique Cord Basket

You’ll Need:

Thick cord;

Glue gun;

Basket (for making shape);

Paper;

Scissors;

2 strips of leather for handles;

Sewing machine;

Threads.

Instructions

Step 1: Forming the Base

Start twisting the cord into a spiral, forming the bottom. Glue well and press each turn of the cord.

Step 2: Creating the Walls

Make the bottom of the right size. To make walls, use the form. Wrap it with paper to avoid staining it with glue. Continue to lay and stick the layers of cord in a spiral around the mold.

Step 3: Finishing the Walls

After achieving the desired height, cut the cord. Fasten its tip by sewing on the machine to prevent it from unraveling. Make a few stitches so the end of the cord becomes flat. Glue it to the edge.

Step 4: Attaching the Handles

Glue or sew the handles onto the basket.
