Use hardware cloth, wire cutters and needle nose pliers to create beautiful vintage industrial style DIY wire mesh baskets of any size. I LOVE these, and they’re such a versatile storage option for any space!
Have a weird cubby you need to find an oddly sized basket for? Make one of these! Want to make a teeny tiny basket for your desk? Here’s your DIY! Have fun & don’t forget to watch those sharp wire edges when making these, please.
I made one of these and spray painted it oil rubbed bronze for a project I’m working on.
I’ll share more of this whole project soon!
I also made a couple to store craft supplies in my office.

January 28, 2016 at 6:47 pmWhat a great idea!! How much weight will they hold? I am looking for wire baskets to use in my freezer to keep it organized, so they need to be on the larger size and be able to hold heavier weights.

October 14, 2016 at 10:25 amI think this is such a creative way to use wire mesh! Spray painting it would make it look super cute too. I am thinking of different ways I can use wire mesh because my husband has a lot that he is not going to need. This is a great project I could start working on!

September 26, 2017 at 8:43 pmThis is GREAT. Love it. I tried to make 2 myself and they look lovely, but they’re crooked and I cannot get them to sit straight. I even put bricks in them for a few days hoping it would flatten them out. Any suggestions?
