DIY Beach Bedroom Series: DIY Dollar Store Nautical Trash Basket

This is going to be a quick post.  The project is fairly self explanatory.  I've just included a couple pictures to help out.

Materials:
Waste paper basket from the dollar store. 
Twisted Jute (I got mine from Joann's in the craft section.  $4.99 originally, but I hardly ever buy anything at Joann's without a coupon!)
Hot glue gun and glue sticks (it took about 7 glue sticks for my basket)

First put one end of your jute through a hole at the bottom edge of your basket and glue securely.  Start wrapping the jute around the basket, gluing every couple inches.



Make your way to the top.  Tuck in the end at the top and glue down.



Start another end close to where you began, but now glue in a circle towards the center of the bottom of the basket.  Once you get to the center, tuck the end through the basket and glue down.  Ta-da!!
