Yes, The Woodsfolk have done it again with their latest wire wares in store. Love me a bit of good…
I have an obsession with wire...it ranks right below my madness about metal...I'll pick up any random spool I spy at yard, garage, or estate sales... the more rusted, the better... Lately I have focused on woven wire...or more specifically, hardware cloth...you know the stuff...comes in rolls, either 1/2" or 1/4" openings...very sturdy and rigid...with a lovely patina since it is usually zinc coated (and I don't know why its called hardware cloth...) As case would have it, I had a partial roll in the basement...and after I used a bit of it for the flower frog mason jars I made (and thank you apartment therapy for highlighting them here), I was struck with the idea of making baskets...based on the idea of the charming french oyster baskets I found here. I formulated a plan and first made a practice basket... I had graph paper with 1/2" grid, so my pattern was drawn to size... I cut out my pattern, using a tin snips and a needle nose pliers...you'll notice that on alternating edges, I snipped the wires close while on the opposite side, I left the wires long...my plan was to bend up each side and then hook the longer wires around the flush end... My second basket demonstrates this technique...after I cut out my pattern, I bent each side of the basket upward, using a metal ruler to get an even line... and then I bent small hooks on one side of the upright wire that "looped" around the flush wire side...and once it was aligned, I squeezed the loop tight... With the corners completed, I moved onto the top edge, bending over the snipped tops to form a loop that curled to the inside...for one of the baskets I made, I reversed the loop, and curled it to the outside. Once the baskets were complete, I added the vintage tags I made to two of the baskets for extra embellishment... And now they are perfect for organizing desk paraphernalia... The small square basket is great for odds and ends... The large "etc." basket is just the right size to hold file folders... and the "junk" basket...well, holds junk! its size is ideal for corralling jars...I threaded a length of linen twine through the loops on the top edge and attached the "junk" tag on the end... There's a few things I learned in the process...wearing gloves might be advised...the cut edges of the wire are SHARP... And don't get too carried away with making your loops perfect...bending the wire back and forth weakens it...and if you bend too far or too often, the wire breaks off...

Whether standing a few inches tall or reaching more than a foot, the metallic vessels that Sally Blake weaves are all inspired by a single, skeletonized seedpod the Canberra-based artist found herself in possession of. “It was given to me by someone who understood my grief after my mother died, and it represented much of what I was feeling and experiencing,” she says. “It was vulnerable and yet resilient, and gently held its seed—the source of potential new life and inspiration.” That original pod has since spurred dozens of baskets in varying sizes that Blake molds from lengths of copper wire.

Yes, tiny kitchens can be adorable, but they can pose problems when it comes to having adequate space to store cookware, prep and keep food, cook and eat, and house your plants (hey, that’s important, too!). You might be able to renovate, but that’s certainly costly—and perhaps not an option if you’re renting. But where some see a problem, IKEA hackers naturally see an opportunity. They don’t just stick to the store’s kitchen section, either!

I have wanted wire baskets forever! Ever since seeing them in a lovely Pottery Barn catalog. But $20-$30 for a single large basket? Uhhh, yeah right, even if my husband said "honey I want to buy you something special" I'd have to say no... are you kidding, do you know how many beautiful things I could stretch that $30 into? Or the $60 it takes to own three or four! So you can't imagine how thrilled I was to discover that you can make your own DIY wire baskets! I know many of you have been waiting for this tutorial, ever since I featured my first set of baskets in the upstairs hall storage post here. Then I made gold basket above which I featured in my bookcase makeover here. So finally I'm sharing the how-to! This tutorial is best shown, so watch my video on a simple method for making your own basket, then below you will find technique tips, and instructions to make a faux leather handle. Happy viewing! TECHNIQUE TIPS I first saw DIY wire baskets via Turnstyle Vogue and began making my own version. It took a while for me to share because I wanted to perfect the technique. This method reduces the number of raw edges that will be exposed. Just to help you get it right the first time, here are a few tips to aid along the way: Sharp Wire Cutters: Always use sharp shears, it keeps cut wire from being too jagged or frayed. Unfurl Wire Roll: Before cutting your pieces out, lay the roll face down and carefully straighten it out as much as possible. This will make cutting an easier process. Keep All Cuts Flush: Cut as close to the edge of spine of the criss -crossed wire as possible. This ensures no sharp wires will protrude out of your basket. Bend on the Spine: Every time you bend the wire, do so at a spine and not in between two rows. Always make your bend as square as possible as opposed to curved. This lends to a professional finish. Reinforced Top Tip: When doubling over what will be the top of your basket, be sure to bend on the spine, and make the squares line up. Weaving Tip: Don't think of this quite the same as sewing. Rather than pulling your wire through by the top (as you would thread), gently guide the wire (and any kinks or loops) through by the top, then middle portion. Once you have brought the wire through the square pull taut by the base of the wire (not top). Take Your Time: Once you get the hang of it you can breeze through making baskets in 20 minutes, but how precise you are determines how good your basket looks! Spray Paint: Customize your baskets with a coat of your favorite color spray paint, and finish with a coat of clear protective spray paint. DIY LEATHER HANDLE You could cut out handles, you could attach a wire handle, or a rope handle. You are only limited by your imagination. Personally I love the look of a leather handle on baskets and bins, and to make my own required a bit of faux leather fabric and 5 minutes! Follow the pictured instructions: I hope you love your baskets as much as I love mine! Linky Love Liz Marie Blog East Coast Creative Upcycled Treasures|The Makers

Basket weaving - differently. I coiled long strands of yarns with copper wire and I wove the strands in a circular motion. I used the combination of pastel colours - salmon, light green/blue and copper. This piece took many working hours to make, of which the coiling itself was the longest process. The inclusion of wire allows the piece to be open with large holes and to hold its form well at the same time. It casts a beautiful shadow in a light filled position. You could also place fairy lights in it to create a shadow play. It's a great decorative piece on a shelf, coffee table or mantlepiece. Height 35cm, diametre 22cm

This is a double layer wire basket with light green tones on the outside and warm gold tones on the inside. The layering gives the basket an intricate semi-transparent look as the colours of the inner layer filter through the outer layer. I crocheted this piece with very fine copper wires and embroidery threads. On top, I added extra rows of loops for a lace-like look. This is a one off piece, and it has a beautiful shine under natural light that changes throughout the day. The basket is soft but sturdy at the same time and it can be re-shaped easily. It is a decorative item, but it can be used to store jewellery or other small items. I use high quality wires manufactured in England, which won't discolour, rust or develop patina even in wet conditions. Height 13cm, diametre at top 22cm, diametre at bottom 13cm
