DIY Rope Basket

I got this idea from iheartorganizing to try myself.


This is me starting and I wish i noticed all the gaps then.

I think I'm going to line the inside with some white linen.

I got the rope at Walmart for $3.97 for 100 ft. I bought 2 packs and it wasn't enough. I'll need to go buy one more. I dyed one pack pink by soaking it in the washing machine with some pink silk pillows that were torn and I was going to toss anyway. 

I read from the comments on Jen's blog that she got her thicker rope at JoAnn's and I think I'm going to do that for the other basket that I bought. I'll probably go with a different color for the guest bedroom basket. That may have to wait though.
