Before you begin, you need to collect the following set of materials and tools:
  • scissors;
  • colored double-sided paper;
  • plain colored paper;
  • ruler;
  • sheet of cardboard;
  • simple pencil;
  • tube with PVA glue.

So, first you will learn how to make a wicker basket from ordinary colored paper.
In the set, find sheets of brown shades, preferably 2-3 tones (darker and lighter).

On the white side of the sheets, draw strips 5 mm thick under the ruler with a simple pencil.

Now start weaving from paper blanks. Take white paper, apply a horizontal strip of glue on top and glue 35 strips vertically, alternating light and dark shades of brown.
Then, in a checkerboard pattern, weave the loose strips between the glued ones. You will gradually end up with a canvas with small squares.

For the bottom of the basket you need a wicker about 10 cm wide, and for the handle you should get two strips measuring 3 cm by 10 cm. Don't forget to glue the wicker fabric onto a sheet of white paper.

    Previously, as children, we often made cards for our parents and friends. And I would continue to consider this activity a simple child’s play if it weren’t for this wonderful card with roses! This is truly valuable and worthy present.

    Very beautiful card, interesting idea. Thank you, we will definitely do this with the children.
    And in general, your site is wonderful, probably the third one that I have seen, which does not cruelly steal the work of entire master classes from others.
