These little Easter baskets are created using fabric twine. Fabric twine is easy to make by twisting strips of scrap fabric together. The end result is a beautiful twine that can be used to everything from adorning presents to knotting macramé plant hangers.
Supplies needed:
Woven cotton scrap fabric
Sewing machine
Needle & thread
The video below will show you how to create twin using scrap fabric. Tear or cut (approximately) 1 ½ inch wide strips out of the fabric. Take 2 strands and make a knot at the end. Loop them over something to hold. I used a nail and scrap wood, but you can use anything. Separate the strands and twist the right one away from you 2 times. Pass it over the left strand, and repeat. When you reach the end of the fabric strip, it’s time to add another. This is called a join. Stagger your joins so they are not right next to each other. Staggering the joins will result in a stronger twine.

Start at the knotted end and being coiling the twine. Set the sewing machine to a wide zig-zag stitch. You’ll need the stitch to be wide enough to catch both sides of the twine so you can sew them together. Sew the 2 sides of the twine together, moving the piece in a circular motion.

Keep sewing the twine in a circle. Sew until the base is the desired width.
