Storage Basket
By LeNae Gerig

Wrap a storage basket with beaded ribbon for a creative way to organize. The versatile basket offers a canvas lining so you can insert anything into the basket—towels, your hand washables, magazines or even craft projects.

Supplies:

  • 2 1/3 yards of 1 1/2” wide yellow/green floral ribbon with wire edges
  • seven assorted 12mm-15mm green glass tube beads
  • 12”x13” wicker storage basket with canvas liner

Instructions:

  1. Tie a knot 10” from one end of the ribbon. Thread a bead onto the opposite ribbon end, slide it up to the knot then tie a knot on each side of the bead to hold it in place. Repeat the process every 7” for the remaining beads.
  2. Wrap the beaded ribbon around the neck of the basket, then double-knot the ends to hold it in place. Trim the tails at an angle.
