Jute thread crochet box
Materials:
- cardboard base in the shape of a cylinder;
- jute thread;
- wooden beads;
- hook;
- sheets of cardboard;
- silicone glue.
Technique of execution
First of all, we make the bottom. You need to draw a pencil along the inside of the cylinder, and cut out the resulting circle. You need to leave about 5 mm in reserve. We make cuts along the contour, and glue the bottom for the blank. We put another circle on top of it, and attach it with glue.
The jute rope needs to be twisted into a spiral. Fixing it with glue, we wind it, completely filling the bottom area.
Wrap the side part of the workpiece in the same way.
Using a hook, you need to knit chains of air loops. Its length is equal to the circumference of the cylinder. The lid is made in the same way as the bottom of the product. You can knit it using a hook.
We collect 2 air loops, and in the 3rd - 12 columns, then the number of loops needs to be doubled. Third row - knit 36 loops. We continue to do the next two rows with 36 loops. This way we will get a knitted lid for the box. From the front side we stretch the ropes and attach wooden beads to them. We tie the ends into bows.
DIY Jute Thread Box
As with any other handicraft, jute products require a set of certain materials and tools.
Materials required:
- leg-split;
- wooden skewers;
- a round cardboard blank, you can take a roll of scotch tape with a wide strip;
- glue;
- stationery knife, scissors and tweezers.
Decorative elements: small beads – 0.5 cm, several large beads, no more than 1 cm in diameter.
Technique for making a jute filigree box with your own hands:
The making of the box begins with the creation of its base. Take a cardboard circle from under wide adhesive tape or another suitable piece measuring 9 cm in diameter and 5 cm in width.
Apply glue to the inner surface. Glue the twine turns tightly inside the future box, and also glue the sides. You can paint the box from the outside using acrylic paint in dark tones. Alternatively, you can use craft paper to glue the surface of the product.
The next step is to make an openwork pattern. Measure the circumference of the box from the outside and divide the length by 4.
The resulting size is transferred to a clean sheet of paper - 4 sectors are obtained. Now we make separate drawings in them, then glue is applied along their lines. A large solid pattern is formed from the resulting elements. We glue loops in the central and side parts.
Each element requires a tight fixation, then the glue is distributed and fixed to the surface, leveling it. The work must be left to dry.
After drying, remove the film and glue residue from the workpiece using a stationery knife. After cleaning the sectors, attach them to the cardboard ring using glue.
Please note! The work must be done carefully, since the glue that has not dried will slide, and the parts will shift, become deformed and bend.
After this, the spaces between the glued elements are decorated using small beads. Before this, jute stems need to be made for the beads. The box can also be decorated with other decorative elements - polymer ornaments, satin ribbons, lace and other items.
We decorate the bottom of the box using the same openwork technique. Using a compass, we draw a circle equal to the diameter of the cylinder. We lubricate it with glue and make curls, tightly gluing them together. Let it dry. The lid is made in the same way - its surface is lubricated with glue, and the turns are depicted using a thread.
Working with jute is easy, and as a result you can get a stylish interior item or just a useful thing for storing small items. DIY jute rugs can be a good gift.
