Such a small felt basket will serve as an excellent packaging for a small gift to your loved ones.
Of course, a variety of boxes, baskets, as well as packaging materials today can be purchased in almost every store, but their cost sometimes exceeds any reasonable amount. Therefore, I propose not to waste money, but to combine business with pleasure - create a useful little thing with your own hands.
In such a bright felt basket, you can put a small souvenir for relatives and colleagues for any holiday, for example, a painted egg for the next Easter.
a sheet of felt, threads of a contrasting color, two buttons or beads of an original shape.
1. Make a paper pattern according to the proposed photo. Fold it up and determine if the size of the future basket is suitable for your purposes. Increase or decrease the size of the bottom or the width of the top of the sides of the basket as needed.
2. Cut the base of the basket out of the felt. Sew from the outside of the basket wall over the edge (a needle-forward seam is also suitable).
3. Cut a strip of felt at least 2 cm wide for the basket handle. The length of the basket handle depends on what you are going to put in the basket, but it should be at least 16 cm.
4. Stitch the edge of the basket handle.
5. Sew the handle to the basket, sew a decorative button or bead on each side. The felt basket is ready!
