Same, it looks like the Saran wrap, but it’s the dried mod podge. Looks kinda yucky, what did you do for yours?

I think I have some macrame cord leftover from a project, if I can find it I will give it a try!!!

Try coating the bowl that you use for a mold in a light layer of cooking oil. It releases when dry

Also, am I supposed to see a clear film throughout the basket once mud podge dries?! :O

Anne, yes it’s meant to be hard because of the ModPodge technique not flexible like a wicker basket.

I found after my 1st bowl a couple layers of saran wrap helped for easy removal from mold i was using.

It appears more solid then other wicker baskets i buy from the store.. i wish i could see someone else’s homemade to compare.. im embarrassed to show because i feel like someone could get cut on my baskets because they are so hard
