If you love the look and feel of fabric crafts and décor, but lack the steady hand and skill to sew, this woven basket craft is ideal for your arsenal! First, choose a few contrasting yet coordinating fabrics from the J&O website, and check out the tips and photos below for inspiration!
Choose any style, shape or size basket and simply weave your own fabric through it!
You can find baskets and crates at almost any store, or even a few around the house that have seen better days. It is amazing what a few yards of decorative fabric can do to a simple and otherwise unattractive basket!
You will need:
• Basket or container of any type in need of a makeover
• Fabrics
• Fabric remnants (optional for decorative knots)
• Embellishments (if desired)
What to do:
• Begin at a corner of the container, tie the fabric in a knot and work your way around, tying a knot every so often to secure the fabric and add interest.
• You can use 3 coordinating fabrics and braid them together before weaving them into a basket. This looks great.
• That is it! Once the fabric is woven, you may wish to add a few details such as buttons or ribbons to your project!
