There are so many old newspaper in my house... i will make it usefull. yeah today i will share it with you "How to make a newspaper basket". what you need are simple just old newspaper, rotary cutter, and cutting mat don't forget use staples. and it so easy to make it....
- Cut the folded edge off a couple sections of newspaper and then cut those pages in half lengthwise. I used about 20 pages for this basket (about 40 strips). My rotary cutter and cutting mat made short work of the cutting. Recommended if you have one.
- Fold the newspaper pieces in half lengthwise, then again lengthwise into
quarters, then into eighths, so you have some sturdy strips. Mine were
3/4" wide. If you want to use fewer, wider strips, use the whole
newspaper sheet. Obviously you can adjust the size of your strips.
- Start weaving from the center outward. Use staples (or glue dots,
double-sided tape, etc.) where needed to secure your pieces, especially
on the first few strips you put together. You can remove the staples
after the basket is finished if you think they're too hideous to bear.
- When you decide your bottom is big enough (your basket's bottom, that is; I'm sure most of us think our
own bottom is plenty large), fold your exposed strips upward at a 90ยบ
angle to form the sides. Start weaving in horizontal strips to fill in
the sides, securing the ends with staples as you go.
- When you reach the top, fold the vertical strips over to the inside and
secure them with staples, or cut them off. I stapled another strip
around the circumference of the top, folded over the rim, to hide the
ugly ends. You could use glue or double-sided tape for this if you don't
want to see staples
Try it... it is very simple than I write here... Trust me
