DIY Fabric Woven Wire Basket VIDEO TUTORIAL

I have a quick video for you so you can see the process in action – and then you can scroll down and see the step-by-step instructions and photos to walk you through the project.

How to make Fabric Strips

First open up your fat quarters of fabric and iron out all the creases – it’s an extra step, but you’ll be glad you did. Then cut slits about 1 inch apart on one side of the fabric. Use those slits as starts, rip the fabric into strips.

Make strips out of several different fabric choices. The amount you’ll need depends on the size of your basket.

Weaving

Take one strip and start weaving it horizontally into the basket. Go over and then go under each wire prong. Over under, over under. When you move on to the next row above or below, be sure to make it opposite the row next to it. For example, if the above row goes “over, under”, then the next row will go “under, over”.
