Basket Made of Cardboard Box

Hello friends!

Today, I will show you how to make a basket from cardboard box. 

As you've probably guessed, I love baskets. I made them often and probably will stop only when you work out perfect. But for now I'm not.

That is what we need for this particular type. White and colored paper, cardboard box, glue, model knife, pencil. 

1. Draw a blank box on colored paper and let 2cm reserve.  

2.Draw a line as shown in the picture. Later we will weave these lines to form a basket. Mine are with width 3 cm.

 Now we can cut the handles of the box, or leave it for later. Cut unfold without extracting bands that will weave. 

3. Glued to the bottom of the box. Now cut the strips for braiding. 

4. Cut the rest of colored paper, long strips of width 3 cm.

5. Now we begin to weave strips. Put glue on the corners to not unravel later.

6. When you get to the top, glued ends of last inside.

7. Now we start with the inner part. Cut a blank white paper and glue it to the inside of the box. Now cut the handle of the basket in case we have not done it earlier. In case of need put extra glue.

We are ready.

 My basket get quite stable maybe the because of extra glue. 

And I hope you liked the idea.
