Instructions

First, you will need to choose the jar that you are going to use to size your DIY rope basket. You can use any empty jar. Keep in mind that your basket will be just a bit larger than the jar, because you are working from the outside of the jar.

Once you have chosen your jar, you need to cut a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to cover your jar. If you are using a really large jar, you can piece together your aluminum foil.

Press the foil around the jar to hold it into place while you are working.

Turn the jar upside down and add a bit of hot glue to the center of the bottom. You will start wrapping your rope at this point.

Continue wrapping the rope around the jar and gluing it down at the same time. Keep in mind that you want to glue the rope to itself and not to the aluminum foil that is covering your jar.

Once you have the size of the rope basket that you want, you can stop wrapping and cut the rope off. Glue down the end of the rope to hold it in place.

Carefully remove the jar and aluminum foil from the inside of your new rope basket.

Glue on some DIY yarn tassels to the outside of your jar for decoration. You can skip this part, but honestly, it's such a lovely addition, and it gives it a charming rustic look.

To make your tassels, wrap some yarn around two or three of your fingers.

Once you have about 20 wraps, you can tie off one small section and then cut the bottom of the remaining yarn to create the tassel look.

Then, just glue your tassels onto your rope basket.

When you are finished, your new rope basket should look a little something like this one:
