DIY Seagrass Bicycle Basket

I’ve had this little huffy crusier for a few years now.
The only thing that ever really bothered me about it was how small the front basket, that came with the bike, was.
While I was out at Lowe’s, I ran across a seagrass basket from Allen + Roth, made sure the measurements would work and ran home with it. A simple DIY Seagrass Bicyle Basket :)
Seagrass Basket


Cable Ties


Scissors


Spray Paint, If Wanted


Directions:


1. Measure your bicycle before purchasing a basket.


2. If painting, tape off in the pattern desired. If you don’t have painters tape, don’t worry…..packaging tape works just as well.


Trust me.


Spray till your little heart is content.


Mine dried insanely fast.


3. Starting on the underside of the basket, run a cable tie up between the seagrass braid, loop around and go back down, making sure to cover the width of the bicyle rack.


4. Run the tie all the way through, trim excess and rotate the end to the inside of the basket.
And viola, you are set to take off in less than 30 minutes.
