An Easter paper basket can be a great decoration for a festive table, and if you make several of these baskets, decorate them with any bright elements, put all kinds of souvenirs and postcards in them, then you can decorate the whole house with them before Easter.
It is necessary
- - colored cardboard;
- - stapler;
- - scissors;
- - ruler;
- - glue;
- - pencil.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the materials and tools that you will need in the process. From gray, black or brown cardboard, cut five strips three centimeters wide and 25 centimeters long. From cardboard of a brighter tone, cut three strips two wide and 30 centimeters long. Put a piece 30 cm long in front of you (this will be the rim of the future basket), then glue five strips 25 cm long to it, placing the blanks as close to each other as possible. For reliability, secure each piece with a stapler.
Step 2
Once the work is finished, carefully roll the cardboard strip 30 cm long into a circle and fasten it with a stapler at least twice (to make the craft more sturdy in the end).
Step 3
Next, fold each of the previously attached strips 25 centimeters long, and then fasten on the opposite side of the rim of the basket. It is also best to use a stapler here.
Step 4
From cardboard of the same color as the rim of the basket, cut a strip three centimeters wide and 20 long, then glue it or fix it with a stapler to the rim of the basket, forming a handle out of it. Glue the remaining two strips to the inside and outside of the rim of the product to hide the staples (you can also fasten the craft with ordinary glue, but only if you do not plan to put heavy objects in it, for example, Easter eggs).
Step 5
As soon as the basket is ready, fill it with all kinds of sweets, souvenirs, postcards and other things, and then decorate the festive table with it or give it to a loved one
