In this video, Jute rope is used as the main material in three, basket-making projects, ideal for teens and adults looking for an absorbing crafting activity.

Note to parents: the project is not suitable for really young kids as it requires use of a crafting knife and a lighter to seal with heat.

Materials:

  • Jute rope
  • Wooden sticks
  • Two colors of jute rope: natural and bleached
  • Two type of glue: hot glue and tacky glue
  • Cardboard paper
  • Plastic containers
