DIY Sisal Rope Basket
SISAL ROPE BASKET MAKEOVER
Items Needed for Project:
spray paint
sisal rope
hot glue gun and LOTS of glue sticks
Chalkboard (optional)
1. I decided to spray paint the inside white. I didn’t bother with the outside because I knew it would be covered, but I did not want the inside which you would see to be the green, so instead I opted for white.
2. After letting the spray paint dry, turn basket over and begin hot glueing rope around the bottom.
3. Use a lot of glue both on the basket and the rope in the row above. The goal is to get it to stick not only to the basket but to the row above so there is not a gap between rows.
4. Continue working your way around and up the basket row by row gluing as you go. One trick I used was after gluing one section, I would push it as close to the one above as I could and then move on to the next section.
5. I decided to take the rope all the way around the lip of the basket and cut the strand off at an angle. Tuck and glue the finishing piece up and under to complete the look.
To finish it off, I decided to add a small chalkboard that I picked up at Michaels. I cut off the loop and hot glued it on the front.
I found the perfect spot to house some small books that I frequently use in my reading chair.
