Making a basket made of rag.
Hello, friends diyhub, I welcome you to my blog. This time I will be showing you how I made an organizer basket made of rag, cardboard and wooden sticks. Rag is a very good material to make baskets because of its easy way of weaving. This craft is not only practical but also very easy to make. I hope you like this idea.
Materials used:
•Burgundy and white fabric in my case are scrap pieces.
•Cardboard box.
•Liquid silicone.
•A rule.
•Wooden sticks.
•Scissors.
•Piece of sponge.
First I started by cutting the box to make the base of the basket and the sides and I glued it with liquid silicone and with the help of adhesive tape, I also cut the wooden sticks all 5cm.
Since the base of the basket is ready, I'm going to start preparing the rag, cutting the fabric into strips and then giving them a little tug so that they take the shape of rag. I'm also going to place the white piece of fabric on the base to cover the box and make it look nicer. I'll be placing the sponge on the inside so that it also has a better base and balance.
Now I'm going to start weaving the basket, passing the rag in a zigzag pattern through the wooden sticks. Make sure to cut enough rag for the weave because I want it to be very small.
This is how the fabric turned out. At first the sticks didn't hold up and I had to start over, but it was possible. To finish, I'm going to add a braided fabric that I also made with the rag, to cover what's left of the sticks.
