Do you have any ideas for repairing this basket?

Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking for weeks about how I could fix this little basket I bought.
This synthetic fiber is just falling apart.

I’d love to sew something, but then I’d need a fabric basket for both the inside and outside, and that wouldn’t really work....
A felt cover? How do I get it to fit perfectly?
I can’t think of anything to crochet.

My only idea: Cut strips from a T-shirt, tie them to the wire, and then basically weave them around the wire?

Can you think of anything better or prettier?

Also ich würde den Rahmen umhäkeln. Altes Zeug raus, stattdessen Häkelwände, Farbe wie es da am besten bei dir passt.

ich würde 3mm starken Filz kaufen und flechten wie der Korb geflochten war, vorher ausmessen damit es auch passt

LG Inge

I’d probably sew an outer cover that extends over the front. I’d attach snaps to the overhanging edge and position the counterparts so that the edge can be folded inward around the wire basket and snapped shut.
Hopefully that makes sense...

Ich würde auch nähen, vielleicht aus einem festem derben Stoff. 

Monika hat mal einen Bezug für einen Wäschekorb genäht. Vielleicht kannst du dich daran orientieren. 

Bin auf dein Ergebnis / Lösung gespannt

I’d do it the same way as Veronika.
Take the old stuff off, crochet thick strips, and then weave them together like the original. In a solid color or multicolored, maybe with little tassels dangling down at the corners. Yes.
I’m curious to see what you decide. Then please post a photo for all of us :-)

Hi!
I’d use a clothesline and wrap it around the wire frame in a figure-eight pattern—just like those garden chairs from the ’60s and ’70s. - Waterproof and washable. 🙂
