| Berry Nice Basket Free Craft Project ~ Compliments of Craft At Home You must agree to our Copyright & Disclaimer Notice located at the bottom of this page. |
Material:
Berry Basket
Ribbon scraps
Hot glue (for children, use tacky glue)
Chenille Stem (2)
Lace scraps
How to:
Decide where the back of your basket will be and start and end your ribbon weaving at the back of your
basket.� To weave the ribbon through your basket, simply insert the ribbon in and out of each strip along
a straight row.� Refer to the photo.�
You can use several small ribbons or a few larger ribbons or as I did, use a large ribbon first and then on top
of the larger ribbon (only on the top and bottom weave), I inserted a smaller ribbon by weaving under the
basket slots, but on top of the ribbon.� To secure your ribbon, glue the ends together neatly.
One chenille stem was not long enough for a handle, so I used 2.� Just twist the 2 ends together and
secure to the top rim of the basket sides with a couple of twists.� I had to cut a little off of both ends of
the chenille stems (they were a bit too long), but I kept the joining twist at the top centre of the handle.�
The twist is covered with a small bow tied around the handle.� You can also use paper twist for the
handle, but securing it with hot glue won't give you as much strength as you may need, so I recommend the
chenille stems.
I didn't like the twist of the chenille stem handle at the top rim of the basket, so I added a strip of stiff lace
around the top.� Simply glue around the top rim.� This covered up the twist nicely and is quite pretty.�
Instead of the lace, you can simply tie a bow at the bottom of each handle to cover the twist around the top
of the basket.
