Hanging Jute Basket for Spring

Another trip to the dollar store and this time I bought something for $1 and I didn't even know what it was but I was game to figure it out and give it a new life. 

The package said it was a wire sphere. 

Truthfully, I thought it was a wire wreath form when I bought it. 

When I figured out it was a wire sphere, I was intrigued.

I started by assembling the sphere as per the directions. 

Ok, still not sure what it was used for. 

But I had a big ball of thick jute twine so I started wrapping it at one end. 

It was pretty therapeutic so I kept wrapping.

I continued the wrapping pattern until I was about 1/2 way up the sphere. 

Then I started on the other end of the sphere doing the same. 

This time I stopped after about 4" then created a handle with the end of the twine. 

Ok, it looked like a basket to me.

I decided later on to take off the part with the hanging beads.

I filled the basket with Spanish moss and added a chicken and some eggs from my collection of Spring decor. 

This is perfect for hanging with decorations for Spring.

I had a lot of fun deciding how to repurpose this mystery item and for a one dollar investment, it was worth it.
