How to make a basket and bottles? Work description.
Put the bottle of the side and completely cut the entire top. It is more convenient to do this by the stationery knife, but you need to calculate power so as not to cut extra.
The top edge of the bottle now needs to be processed, because it turned out sharp. For processing, take a wide braid and cut the strip of the desired length to crack the upper side of the bottle. Cut the braid and the internal, and the outer edge of the bottle, lubricate the glue from the adhesive gun and press it well.
Pens for basket consist of two parts: the pen itself and the inner holder. You need to apply a bottle holder and cut into a plastic container a strip of such a length so that the holder does not fall out (the hole should turn into shorter than the handle). After that, you can install holders and handles on both sides of the bottle.
From colored adhesive paper cut stripes to decorate the bottle. Separate the bottom paper layer from them and glue the strips to the bottle. Place them in parallel one to the other and commemorate the tips. If you want, you can decorate the adhesive paper with adhesive paper - that which remains free.
