Sara from Alice and Lois shared this basket on her blog and I love it! It’s a handmade rope basket that doesn’t involve any sewing! I’ve seen some before, but they always used a sewing machine to stitch the rope together so this is a bit different.
Sara says: “I have been swooning over all of the simple yet gorgoues rope baskets. I knew I had to figure out an easy way to make one. I went to my local fabric warehouse and found the perfect “rope” – natural cotton piping. I spent $6 on cording for this good sized basket. This piping is used for making cording for sofas and pillows! Traditional rope baskets are made using a sewing machine, but I opted for the easy method – hot glue gun. Using glue will not make the basket as secure and heavy duty as a rope basket that has been sewn. Our basket makes a prefect place to hold your knitting projects or stuffed animals for blankets. I dressed up the basket by adding leather handles.”

Fab idea. To give it extra strength maybe put the straps all the way around the basket.
Sara I want to thank you for sharing this beautiful basket. I am going to make several for light-duty storage and organization. The leather handles give the basket a touch of class.
I would love to see the Pictorial on your robe basket but,when I click on it my PC tells me that I’m not allowed on it ? What gives ?
