Instructions
Step 1
Cut out the base of the basket in the shape of an oval by drawing a circle with a diameter of 10 cm on the cardboard and a second circle centered on the line of the first circle, then connecting the edges of the circles together.
For the walls, cut out two strips 6 cm and 10 cm wide from cardboard. After ironing the strips with a rolling pin, bend them into an oval. Stick a small strip around the base.
Glue the second strip around the first strip. Bend the protruding part of the large strip inward and glue it, strengthening the rim of the oval.
Turn the base over and glue it over with paper.
Step 2
Make a frame with wire, creating the shape of the head, neck, wings, tail of the swan.
Use scotch tape to glue the "rope" rope between the wire frame, adding volume to the neck and head.
Step 3
Add volume to the head and neck of the swan, wings and tail, pasting them with rope.
Then wrap the tape over the head, neck, wings and tail.
Assemble the basket: glue the parts of the swan-shaped basket to the base, additionally attaching them with copper wire.
Step 4
Sew a bag of decorative fabric, cutting out an oval at the base that is 1.5 cm larger and a strip of fabric with a width equal to 1.5 times the height of the basket walls.
Decorate the main part of the basket with a bag. Decorate the bottom of the walls of the basket with a strip of fabric along the width equal to the height of the wall of the basket.
Glue the oval of the base with the same fabric, gluing it to the base of the basket.
Step 5
Glue the wings and tail of the swan with a beautiful guipure, and glue the corrugated tape along the edges.
Decorate the head and neck of the swan with a corrugated ribbon, as well as the seam on the wall of the basket.
