Garden Hose Basket How-To

Turn a hose into a handmade garden tote with these easy steps. This project is a fun way to recycle a garden hose that has sprung a leak, but is otherwise in good condition.

For this project you will need: scissors / a 50-foot garden hose / 100 8-inch zip ties.

Begin by folding one end of the hose on itself and zip-tie it together as shown. The length is approximately 8 inches.

Begin to coil the hose and zip tie it together at regular intervals to form the base of the basket. Pull the zip ties tightly so that the hose is tied snugly. Once the hose is securely tethered, clip off the excess from each zip tie.
