From the rope
From a little twine and a cardboard box, we can make baskets for small things, closets, gifts ... decorated with bows, buttons and flowers from twine or thread - with a little effort and fun we have a basket for everything we need.
Preparation steps
- We cut the cardboard box with the sharp knife to the desired shape and size. This one in the picture is from a toy, I got two such elongated baskets from one box. Tape with a wide adhesive tape. Now, with the help of hot glue from the gun, we glue the rope, applying the glue one by one around the box and the rope on it. It is better to start from the top of the box because our patience is running out so everything will look more meticulous. We also line the bottom of the box with string so that we can thin the rows by making a larger gap. This saves a piece of rope and the bottom is not exposed to the views anyway. Another possibility is to paint the box in a bright color before coating it with string, so that the string is glued with a larger gap so that the color peeks out. And we can finally paint a part of the basket in strips or halfway.
- The inside of the basket can be: 1. Lined with a fabric cut to the appropriate size. We will also fasten the fabric with warm glue. 2. Paint with the appropriate color. We then do this before lining the basket with twine. 3. Line with gift wrapping paper, also before gluing the string.
- We decorate the finished basket with flowers, buttons, bows that Sanja showed us .... In the picture, the flowers are made according to this instruction. In the same way, we can "fix" boxes of cream .... imagination at will and with a little effort, everything that keeps our little things can look much nicer :) The basic idea for baskets is from the Internet.
