Lady weaves Dollar Store plastic colanders with a cord. This idea is suddenly everywhere

AdvertisementMaterials
2 plastic colanders from the Dollar Store, 12-inch diameter
Colorful nylon cord, approximately 50 feet
Pendant light kit with bulb socket
Spray paint (optional, for base coat)
Heavy-duty glue or zip ties
Scissors
Drill with a drill bit appropriate for plastic
Directions
Begin by inverting one of the colanders so that it forms a dome. If desired, spray paint it with your chosen color and allow it to dry completely.
Using the drill, carefully make additional holes along the rim of the colander to accommodate more weaving, if needed.
Take the second colander and position it as a base, with the top facing upwards. Align it with the inverted dome to form a sphere-like shape.
Secure the two colanders together at their rims using heavy-duty glue or zip ties, ensuring they are aligned properly.
Take the nylon cord and begin weaving it through the holes of both colanders. Create a pattern by looping and crossing the cord, experimenting with different designs to find what you like best.
Continue weaving until the entire surface of the colanders is covered with the cord pattern.
