3. DIY Rope Basket
Materials: Old cardboard box, thick rope, glue, and scissors.

4. DIY Wall Art

6. DIY T-Shirt Tote Bag
Materials: Old T-shirt, scissors, and a marker.
Method:
Lay the T-shirt flat and cut off the sleeves. Cut around the neckline to create the bag opening. Mark several short lines along the bottom and cut them into strips. Tie the matching strips together tightly to close the bottom of the bag.
7. DIY Hanging Plant Holder
Materials: Cotton rope, small plant pot, scissors, and a hook.
Method:
Cut several equal lengths of rope. Tie them together at one end and divide them into pairs. Make knots along the ropes to create a supportive net for the plant pot. Bring all the ends together and tie them securely at the top. Hang it from a suitable hook.
