Mini Easter Basket - Take Two

 

My first attempt at an Easter basket made from magazine pages looked ok, but nearly impossible to put together, and rather fragile....So I tried again!

This time I used a small yogurt cup, tape, and glue stick (blue glue stick).  It is mainly held together with glue.

Steps: measure, cut, weave & glue, weave & glue, glue & weave, cut container, glue, press together (gentle, gentle!), take another page, fold it a million times (to make handle), glue....Recycle after Easter!



(The egg is just a prop - not hard boiled...I burnt six hard boiled eggs this morning...I forgot I was cooking them - does this ever happen to you?  It happens to me 80% of the time when I make hard boiled eggs, and I make them often!)

That can't be right

We made a woven Easter basket out of magazine pages
It is held together with 1000 pieces of tape...
...super tricky to put together

I want to make a larger one out of bristol board for Easter...well, I thought I could make one out of newspaper (so it can be recycled) - but clearly it needs to be strong enough to hold trucks and cars.  Maybe if I layered the newspaper? Hmmmm...I need to search online for instructions!  Maybe Martha Stewart can help me out!


Have you ever made one of these before? Is glue involved?

Update:  OH I GET IT, a container...check this out
