What I love about beachcomber baskets is that they can double as pretty decor. The basket itself is roomy and so versatile but I just don’t have enough cash to burn in Pottery Barn. So, this tutorial is perfect if you want a Pottery Barn inspired beachcomber basket. All you need is a container, glue gun, and glue sticks and some sisal rope.
