Do not rush to throw out empty plastic bottles. If you wish, on their basis, you can make great storage baskets. Durable, stable and spacious, they can be used for linen, threads, handicraft materials. An additional bonus will be an impeccable appearance. The basket looks stylish and even spectacular, it can be placed anywhere.
The size of the basket, as well as the consumption of the material, directly depend on the volume of plastic containers.
To implement the idea, you will need:
- Suitable bottle
- Packing cardboard
- Fabric residues
- Jute Shpagat
- Adhesive Pistol
Cut the bottle from above in such a way as to obtain a cylindrical container. Miffy the upper edge.
From the cardboard, cut 2 circles equal to the diameter of the bottom. The easiest all for this take and circle donyshko. We use a circle as a pattern. From the appropriate tissue, it is cut from the bottom with a 2-3 cm allowance, then we make cuts around the perimeter, take 1 out of the circles and get rid of the excess fabric. The resulting workpiece is glued to the bottom of the eggplant.
For lining we use any fabric you like. For the bottom, we will supply the circle again. Fabric consumption for the lateral part of the inner case can be determined simply by applying the material to the bottle and wrapped it. It is also not to forget about the stepper above and allowing the seams to provide a good fit in finished form.
We place the cover inside the bottle, we will refrigerate and make a bending from above.
To smooth the surface, overturning an eggmarket with a piece of cardboard, additionally fixing it at the junctions of scotch. And then we twist the twine starting from above.
When the surface is completely accustomed, without cutting the twine, we start it up.
We form a drawing, sinking the twine as it styled. Cut the twine and refuel it.
At the top let's start a lace edging.
For the lid we use the second round. First, you look at it by analogy with the bottom. At the top of the cover we make a handle. To do this, we form a loop with a node from the rope, cut the excess thread, and glue the loop clearly in the middle. Further we make a winding from the middle to the edge. At the end, the twine is not cutting off, but we will start up to lay out the drawing.
The interior basket is ready, it will not be superfluous. What exactly to put inside, everyone solves independently.
