If you love the look and feel of jute as much as I do, then you are going to enjoy this DIY crafting adventure! I love upcycling things around my home that I either fell out of love with or just want to bring to life, and since I enjoy working with jute and making so many beautiful projects with it, I knew this metal basket with woven jute would be a fun project. I’m going to show you how to easily weave a beautiful jute metal basket!
Jute is a natural fiber that can be spun and woven into a variety of textures. It is also one of the most versatile choices for any aspect of home decor. It is durable and strong, yet can be surprisingly soft to the touch (depending on the treatment and tightness of the weave).
I started with an old metal basket I had and simply knotted one end of the jute and started weaving.

It’s so relaxing to work with jute too. You can take any basket you have on hand and transform it into a beautiful upcycled jute masterpiece. You can space the jute out or pull it close together – it all depends on the look you are after. There’s something so charming about a jute metal basket.
I love the results. I can’t wait to try different patterns too. Be sure to check out my other jute crafting projects too.I also created several other crafting projects using jute, and I love them all! Stop over to Sassy Townhouse Living's crafting category and check them all out.
This braided jute centerpiece is one of my favorites. And it's easy to make. You can see how I created this over at my blog.
I love how this metal basket was transformed using jute. I hope you get to create one soon too!
The jute also helps keep my fruits and veggies from getting dents and dings on the side when they touch the basket. It’s a win-win!
Let me know if you have any questions about the process. It’s super easy and so much fun. Very therapeutic too!
The natural detail in jute is what brings these pieces to life! You can paint, dye, or stain jute too! I love how you can braid it and make detailed designs with it as well
Next time I work with jute, I’m going to try staining it.
