Basket for shelby i made

This is the basket I made from rolled up newspaper, it is my first attempt so not brill, but I will be making some more, could be filled up with hair bobbles etc, sweets/chocolates, pot porri, cotton balls, anything really what will fit...Its not quite finished, im going to add detail to the outside, such has ribbon, maybe flowers or butterflies, etc,

Hello again, late afternoon, I added some ribbon and then glued some rose beads all way around and sewn a pearl bead on the front of bow, not sure if I will add anything else yet, but I think if I was giving sweets in it, I would add some pink tissue paper...

   They are so beautiful!!!!I love them!!!!    

Thankyou Christina,   

Wow i would love to make something like this for my grand daughter. Lovely Vicky

Brilliant idea, you will have to tell us how you made them, my granddaughter's would love these.

Thankyou Petro and Doris, I made the basket from rolled up newspaper, I think you will get the idea from the photos, I cut two circles first, then rolled the newspaper into thin tubes, glued the newspaper tubes all around the circle, ending with odd number, then when glued, put second circle on top and glue , leave to dry, bend the tubes up, then basket weave the tubes, flattening the newspaper a little as you go, I cut top when I had height I wanted but this was wrong, it shows you in video to bend the newspaper over and tuck into weaved paper.






This is the original you tube video which I watched then made one.

I forgot to mention Shelby loved it and she has it now in her bedroom with all her little bits in, I think she has put hair bobbles, hair slides in it etc, but at first she put her little animals inside it.  

My table protecter did get quite dirty with the print of the Paper, but it did wash out, so if you have a go just be aware of that to where you roll the newspaper up.
