How to Do a String Basket.
I made a string basket. This was an idea from youtube. I was interested in making this for a friend who she always like making craft that are easy to make.
Supplies
Supplies needed
- 1 roll of String
- 1 cardboard cup
- 1 pipe cleaner "6 inches"
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
Sizing the Cup
Grabbing your cardboard cup.
- Getting a ruler you will place the beginning of the ruler at the top of the cup and measure it going down.
- you will mark a line where 1 inch marks
Making the Base
Using the cup that you cut.
- Get your string and find the end of the string.
- Hot glue the end of the string to the bottom of the cup.
- Start wrapping the string around the whole cup.
- Once you have covered the whole cup cut the string and hot glue the end that you cut.
Making the Handle
Get your 6 inch pipe cleaner.
- With a ruler you will measure the pipe cleaner
- With a wire cutter you will cut 2 inches off from the pipe cleaner.
Gluing the Handle to the Cup
Grabbing your wrapped cup
- Place a dot of hot glue to one side of the cup. (make sure you center it as close as possible)
- once one side is dried you will glue the other side in the same direction as the first one.
Making a Tag
- You will open the silhouette studio app on your device
Design Your Tag
- You will find the drawing tool on your left side (it will have a rectangle shape)
- You will choose the square option
- Draw the same depending on how big you want it (each square on the graph is an inch)
- Once you have your square you will choose the circle option and create it on the edge of the square that you created at first.
- (You are free to write anything on your tag)
