Promised to publish the second part of the course: "How to make paper basket."
It will be a simple basket without weaved bottom. Basket with the carton bottom is stronger than weaved.

What will be needed:

• Tubes from the newspaper (how to do the paper tubes ),
• Cardboard, glue, scissors,

The cardboard cut out two squares or rectangles (one - as you can see picture above - it must be smaller).
Then overlaid them crushed one-sided colored paper or newspaper.
Prepare an even number of tubes.
To the large cardboard, glue odd number of tubes, and last, which will begin entwine - stick in the corner.
Now glue on this the second smaller cardboard.

Raise the tube up. They can be at the top gently with a paper tape, glue (it will be easier to weave basket).

Tube glued in the corner begin to entwine around - once below, once above the tube.

Putting thinner tubes combine lubricated adhesive in a butt end of the next tube. How to connect tubes is shown HERE .

After obtaining the desired height, we can proceed to complete the baskets.

Shorten the tube, lubricated with glue and helping put a toothpick in the weave.

The finished basket. You can paint and varnish.

This basket was designed for an papier mache elephant. You can watch it here .
