Cloth baskets are often lined with a waterproof material, making them great for storing wet or damp items. They are also usually cheaper than wicker baskets.
Wicker Baskets
Are wicker baskets good for storage? Wicker baskets are great for organizing your home. They are made from interwoven strands of organic material, usually rattan, willow, or seagrass.
Wicker baskets are strong and durable yet lightweight and easy to move. They are perfect for storing everything from laundry to toys. You can even use them to store food in the pantry or fridge. Wicker baskets are also very stylish and can add a touch of class to any room.
Upcycled Plastic Baskets
Plastic baskets are usually the most affordable items for organizing your home; however, they do tend to break easily. Often times, the instant reaction is to toss them, but with a little DIY, these baskets can be made to look new and modern.
One way to upcycle is to use fabric. Covering the basket with fabric gives it a fresh new look and can be used to store items such as face clothes or tea towels.

Purchasing many baskets can add up and become costly. Leftover boxes that will end up in the recycling bin can be turned into stylish and functional storage solutions. Rope baskets are usually made from cardboard boxes and give a home a modern look.

DIY Sweater Baskets
Just like purchasing many plastic bins can become costly. Purchasing rope to make rope box baskets can become costly as well. DIY sweater baskets are another great way to upcycle recyclable boxes. All that is needed is a well-loved old sweater and some glue. Wrap the box with the sweater; now you have a basket that would be great for organizing the linen closet.
These sweater box baskets can be made in various sizes and colors, so you can make the perfect one that can sort sheets or bathroom towels. Plus, they’re easy to make and easy to keep clean.
T-Shirt Yarn Baskets
T-Shirt yarn crochet baskets with handles are another great way to organize your home. All that is needed is an old t-shirt turned into yarn and crocheted into a basket. They can be made in various sizes and colors, so you can find the perfect size to organize yarn, scissors, or the kid’s school supplies. Plus, they’re easy to make, affordable, and easy to keep clean.
DIY Rope Plastic Basket
There are many ways to make a DIY rope basket. One way mentioned above is to use recycled boxes; however, if the right size box is difficult to find, then a plastic container from Dollar Tree can do the trick.
Different-sized plastic containers can be used to make the perfectly sized rope basket for the area you want to organize. Plus, they’re easy to make, keep clean, and store anything in the home, like throws or toys.
