Yes, it is!
You probably wont even notice it if I didnt mention it.
It looks like a high-end boho decor in luxury design stores that costs a few dollars.
Who knew you could make it at home with just a few materials and an old bucket?
It will turn out the same way as the ones in stores or probably even better!

you might also use old fabrics or t-shirts for the lining.
Its a great way to reuse them instead of throwing them directly into the trash.
The basket looks absolutely gorgeous and is perfect for your home.
Trace the bottom to a piece of cardboard, then cut it out.
Cover it with fabric and using hot glue to keep the fabric in place.
Step 2:
Cover the inside and the top edge of the bucket with fabric.
Use glue to keep it in place.
Glue the covered cardboard on the inside of the bucket.
Step 3:
Put the bucket upside down and find the center.
Roll a jute rope into spiral to form a circle.
Do not cut the rope.
Continue with the sides of the bucket.
Do not cover the whole side, see to it the fabric is still showing.
Step 4:
Get the yard cord and wrap it around the top edge to measure.
Cut it with that measurement.
Step 5:
Get the yard cord.
Fold and measure how long you want the fringes to be.
Cut several pieces in that length.
Using a comb, untangle the cord.
Trim it with a pair of scissors.
Step 7:
Glue on the top edge of the plastic bucket.
Step 8:
Get a small piece of florist wire and braid the cord into it.
Insert a small piece of cardboard and place into the center.
Glue them on the sides of the bucket between the fabric and cord.
Step 9:
Tie the fringes into groups, then cut each one in a pointed shape.
