Storage Basket DIY

 Storage Basket DIY

I made this simple and gorgeous storage basket, using a shipping box from Amazon.  

Materials:

—box

—scrap fabric

—popsicle sticks

—hot glue gun

—black and white paint 

—brush for black paint and a round sponge brush for white

—rope 

Directions:

1.  Hot glue popsicle sticks around sides and bottom.

2.  Paint black.  Dry.  Dab with white, using round sponge brush.

3.  With right side facing box, hot glue across the top of the popsicle sticks and place fabric.  Then place fabric inside and glue to the sides. Repeat on all sides. 

4.  For the inside bottom, I used the 2 flap closures I had cut off.  I placed side-by-side on top of a piece of fabric.  Glued 2 pieces together and then glued fabric around the 2 pieces. Placed inside. 

5.  With rope, I glued around the bottom - all the way around. I then glued around the fabric’s edge all the way around.  

6.  For the handles, I cut 2 pieces of rope about 6” long. I placed and glued it on the 4th stick from the edge on both sides. Repeated on the opposite side. 

And, that’s it.  Easy; super cute; strong & sturdy; and, best of all, functional!!!!

Happy Crafting…
