19. Woven Cane Webbing & Wood Frame Wall Pocket
What This Idea Means
Incorporating booming interior design trends, this wall organizer mounts natural open-weave rattan cane webbing inside a round or arch-shaped wood frame. Necklaces hook directly into the natural hexagonal cane openings.
How to Make It
- Prepare Wood Frame: Obtain a circular wooden embroidery hoop or arch-shaped wooden frame (12 to 14 inches wide).
- Soak Cane Webbing: Soak a sheet of open-weave rattan cane webbing in warm water for 30 minutes to make it flexible.
- Stretch Webbing: Lay the damp cane webbing over the inner wood frame, stretching it flat and securing it tightly between the inner and outer hoop rings or stapling to the rear.
- Trim Excess Cane: Trim overhanging cane webbing edges cleanly using a sharp utility knife once dry.
- Insert S-Hooks: Insert small brass or wooden S-hooks into the open hexagonal cells of the woven cane to hold your necklaces.
Tips & Variations
- Tip: As wet rattan cane webbing dries, it shrinks slightly, creating a drum-tight, smooth finish across the wood frame.
- Variation: Paint the wooden frame in dark charcoal paint to contrast with the natural honey-toned rattan cane center.
