Such a basket will effectively decorate a souvenir shelf, and will also serve faithfully in storing women's little things - jewelry, hairpins, sewing accessories. You can put a present in a basket and give it to some girl, girl or woman for any occasion. And another idea for using baskets made from plastic cans and ribbons is decor festive table.
Materials:
- Round sour cream jar (400-450 g);
- Wide satin ribbon (2-2.5 cm wide) – 1.5 m;
- Narrow satin ribbon (0.5-1 cm wide) for the handle – 72 cm;
- A piece of braid or lace - its length is equal to the circumference of the jar;
- A small piece of fabric;
- Knife (stationery or regular kitchen knife);
- Scissors;
- Ruler;
- Glue (any available one, but it’s more convenient to use hot glue);
- A simple pencil or fabric chalk.
Making the basket:
1. Cut off the bottom of the can with a knife.
2. Apply glue to the inside of the bottom and apply it to the fabric piece. Cut out a circle along the contour of the bottom.
3. Apply glue to the outside of the bottom and apply it to the fabric section. We cut out a circle with a 1 cm edge so that on each side the fabric is 1 cm wider than the plastic bottom.
4. We fix a wide satin ribbon with glue from the inside of the jar and begin wrapping the walls. We wrap with a slight slope, overlapping, from bottom to top or top to bottom.
5. When the entire jar is wrapped, hide the edge of the ribbon under the previous layer.
6. Place the bottom inside the jar.
9. To prevent it from falling out, apply a strip of glue in a circle around the outside and inside.
10. Apply glue along the top edge of the jar and attach braid (or lace).
11. To make a handle, cut 3 pieces of 24 cm each of narrow satin ribbon, glue them together at one edge.
12. We braid a pigtail from ribbons.
13. On the sides of the jar between the layers of tape, fix the edges of the pigtail with glue.
14. Decorate the basket with bows from ribbons and braid.
A cute souvenir basket made from a plastic jar and satin ribbons is ready!
