DECORATIVE JUTE BOX

Send

At first glance, a jute rope is most often used to tie some kind of cargo. However, even from it you can create interesting things, for example, a casket, vases, bags, etc. I would like to suggest making a small casket. This cute little thing will decorate the interior in retro style. In it you can store some wooden things - a ring, a bracelet or beads, a pendant. In this box you can put a small gift for lovers of antiquity. At the base is a bobbin from under threads, you can also use a bobbin from under a wide adhesive tape.
So, the materials necessary for the box:

cardboard tight cylinder;
jute rope;
wood beads;
Crochet hook;
silicone glue
cardboard.

First we make the bottom for the box. To do this, draw a pencil on the inside of the cardboard cylinder and get a circle.
It must be cut, leaving an allowance for bending of about 5 mm.

We make cuts and glue the bottom into the cylinder.

Glue one more circle on top for strength by measuring the circumference outside the cylinder.

Take a jute or rope and twist it into a spiral. We fix the silicone glue in the middle to the bottom and continue to wrap the cardboard blank until we close the bottom.

We pass to the side and also wrap the workpiece to the top, cut the rope. Be careful not to see the cardboard through.
We take a hook and knit a chain of air loops as long as a circle at the cylinder.
If there is no hook, you can braid a braid or make a rope harness, glue the decor to close the upper cut.

The lid can be made on the same principle as the bottom, only use the cardboard for the side. I crocheted it from jute.
I scored 2 air loops, knitted 12 single crochet in the third, then doubled the number of loops, that is, to 24. In the third row I knit 36 loops.
And the next two rows are knitted without changes, that is, 36 loops to form a lid.

I also connected the circle according to the same principle to 24 loops and 1 row without changes. I put this circle inside to close the cardboard cuts at the bottom.
