1. Brown box ( you can use any size box you want. I got this one from the post office )
2. Jute ( the one I am using is from Hobby Lobby)
3. Scissors
4.glue gun
5. Paint sticks ( regular sized)
I’m working on two different boxes is why your seeing a pampered box and a brown box. You will continue up the box until you get to the top of your box.
Once you get to the top of the box you will start to weave in and out of the paint sticks forming g a weaved look.
You will continue weaving until you get to the very top. When you get to the very to you will go around once with the jute to give the top a finished look.
You can be so creative with this Diy and make them in a variety of sizes. I also added some burlap to the top so you don’t see the paint sticks on the inside of box.
Lovely. These boxes would be great finished off on the inside and used for gifts.
I have made 2 of the jute storage boxes and I love them.
Barb, I enjoy seeing your videos!!!! I have made 2 of the jute storage boxes and I love them.
Barb, I absolutely LOVE you, your blog, your merchandise, your sweet spirit, the way your family is involved,… heck, just everything about The Shabby Tree!
I made this and I have my largest tree in it. It turned out wonderful, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for all your ideas.im disabled and just started watching the shabby tree.you have inspired me to try to craft again.
I made this box. I used 7 mm jute and I had to purchase two rolls. I do like it. Next time I will probably use 11 mm jute though.
I’m in love with this idea. Thank you!! Do you remember the size jute your used?
can’t wait to try that basket with the jute looks so cute hope mine looks as good as yours thanks for shareing
OMG!! I’m going right now to get the paint sticks!! I have everything else-sooooooooo cool! THANK YOU… THANK YOU… THANK YOU…
I saw the video a while back but, didn’t have any boxes. My son is always ordering something so, now I have a couple that I am going to make and, maybe give them to my grand daughters for their books.
So cool.
Going to try this. Love it.
How many feet of jute did you use for the jute box?
Keep burning my fingers with the hot glue. I apparently got to thin of jute so do you recommend a better adhesive to use?
Kinds new to your site. Really love your ideas. I just got through making the kite storage box. Love it and was really fun making it. I’m now going to try the bells.
Really enjoy your site. Thanks for all the ideas.
Question! You have a tree on the box in your videos. Is the stand on the tree, or did you just lay the tree on the box?! I got a 6ft. Pencil tree and want to make the box fit it. The stand is almost 24 inches wide. Hard to find a square box that size. Thanks! Love e your diy ideas!
Love this and it looks like fun to make. I am going to make 1 or more.
I love this!
Whst size jute is used for box?? Thank you…
What size jute are you using? Thank you.
Did you use different sizes of jute? What size(s) jute did you use?
Finish my box today I have had so many comments as I posted a picture. I was pleasantly surprised and only got one blister due to the hot glue gun. I am so happy I felt Barb and the Shabby Tree, her family and especially her sister Sherry who always has such unique ideas!!!
Love it
I wonder if this would be sturdy enough for a 7 foot slim Christmas tree?
What size jute did u use for the basket
Everyone must scoop up the supplies you use because they are never in stock in my town.
Love your blog.
I’m making this tomorrow!
