Make "Baskets" Out of Cardboard Boxes
Necessity is the mother of invention, as my mom used to say. I couldn't find the right size baskets to fit on a couple of shelves in my daughter's room, so I covered a wine box and a shoe(boot)box with 4 ply jute twine.
Here's the project all finished.
I found a wine box that was the perfect size (width and depth) and cut down the top
I wrapped & hot glued some jute string around a shoe box for the top box and the wine box is on the bottom.
I made some liners from a drop cloth to line the cardboard boxes to complete the look.

I love this project, but jute can get expensive

Dollar tree roping, has 2 color choices. I have found, because the rope is thicker then jute? It covers faster with the same amount of hot glue. It looks more high end too. As well sturdier. Less yardage as a a result of added thickness. Take a look 😉

I went one step further and made my own rope out of twisted daylily leaves.
