Hey guys! For those of you who are new to my blog, welcome and enjoy! My name is Vesna and I`m a full time blogger, blogging about everything home and lifestyle related.

I hope you're ready for the new ideas, because you don't want to miss this DIY Easter rope woven basket that is actually super easy to make! These Easter baskets would be such a fun project for the family and kids to do together! They can decorate their own basket and then take it out for the Easter egg hunt!

Easter, is one of my favorite holidays and I always try some new diy project to make it even more special!

You can make these adorable Easter baskets as big, or as small and use it for almost anything after Easter! They are adorable and up-to-date all year around!

You will need:

- bowl or other container any sizes you need,

- jute rope,

- plastic wrap,

- scissors,

- school or any type of white glue,

- glue gun and glue sticks.

First wrap your bowl in a plastic wrap and turn it up side down.

Add a small dot of white glue in the middle of the bowl and start wrapping the jute in a circle motion.

Be sure your rope is tight, so pull it gently whenever you create a new circle. Often press the finished part with your hand to flatten it down.

Add another circle of glue and keep on going the same way until you reach the end (or top) of your bowl. Cut the excess rope and glue it. Let it dry over night (or 24 hours). Remove your bowl and plastic wrap carefully from your basket (I must warn you, that part is quite difficult).

For the handle, measure and cut 3 pieces of rope in a desired length and make a braid.

Repeat for the another handle.

Attach handles to your basket with a hot glue gun and that`s it! You can also paint your basket to make it more colorful or leave as is, it will be equally beautiful either way.
