14. Braided Jute Rope Storage Baskets
Decluttering spaces while maintaining a rustic aesthetic is effortless when utilizing durable, tactile storage baskets constructed entirely from thick braided jute cord.
- How to Make It: Take three long strands of thick natural jute rope and anchor one end securely. Braid the three strands tightly together into a continuous, extra-long rope braid. Coil the braided rope tightly into a flat circle for the base, hot-gluing or machine-stitching the adjacent rows together. Gradually angle the coils upward to form sturdy walls, and attach looped rope handles near the top rim.
- Tips & Variations: Dye sections of the jute rope in indigo blue or terracotta before braiding to introduce subtle, earthy color-blocking patterns.
