This color paper basket is super easy and so much fun to make in a variety of different colors!
It develops my basket-weaving skills and experiments with the shape, size, colors, and appearance of my baskets to add another idea of creativity.

I always try to use recycled materials for crafting projects.
These color paper baskets can be really useful and cheap as well.</h

MATERIALS

colored paper

Scotch tape

glue

METHOD

  • Prepare strips of paper to weave your basket.
    Fold them into half inch width and keep the length about 12 inches or more.

  • Weave the base of your basket.
    4 strips in vertical
    4 strips in horizontal

  • Weave a strip of colored paper between the now vertical strips of the base, folding it to fit around the corner of the basket.

  • Alternate between going under and on top of strips, so that you create a checkerboard pattern with the strips from the base and repeating until reaching the top.

  • to add a handle, simply tape or glue each end of a long strip of paper to opposite sides of the basket
