DIY HANGING BASKETS

Ive always fancied these and have come to find how easy they really are to make so i deem to share my method with you


INGREDIENTS;
Ideally twine or your selection of thread just be wise to consider its strength.
Scissors.
A model bottle or vase could also prove useful to set out an idea of measurements.

So Just cut eight pieces of thread about an arms length, line the ends up on one side and tie a simple loop knot making sure its quite tight otherwise you might find unevenness may creep into your final product which may happen anyway giving if its your first go but we will try to avoid 

Now if your go about the length of your index finger away from the head of your knot pull away two pieces of thread that are ideally sitting beside eachother and using the same technique knot them together then slide over and do the same to the next pair ensuring they are all fall level to one another, do this till you have four pairs

Now grabbing one single thread your just going to skip its already connected partner and hop to the next thread joined to the pair directly next door do this till you again have four pairs of knots, now you can go the same length again even make it a little longer this round or shorter maybe first time keep it similar but through practise divvying it up can make for different looks.

From this point you can either continue another layer it depends on the size of the object you plan to sit inside in that case a model becomes handy.

With tying off your baskets you should have enough left over to tie a knot at the very end which you could use as a hold or of not just cut another thread and attach on a looped hold.

In mere minutes you'll have one whipped up and each time you should trail different methods of knotting and the distance of your knot too can make for a unique look.

enjoy!
