Woven Boxes
These cute
little boxes can be fill with homemade treats or other gifts ideas or you can
use them to store your little nick-knacks in.
All you need
are strips of stiff paper or cardboard. I cut mine at 1.5cm width each. You can
use 2 colours or just one
In the first
step I placed 6 strips of cardboard (coloured side face down) on the table
Then I threaded/weaved
the next colour through, starting in the middle
Keep weaving
until you have your desired size. I weaved 6 strips so that I have a square.
Now bend up
the strip/edges on all 4 sides
Glue two
strips together.
Do this for
a couple of pieces
Thread/weave
these longer strips around the standing up edges.
When you get
to a corner bend the threading strip to get a sharp fold. When the ends meet
trim and glue them together.
Repeat above
step until you have the height you like.
Now trim of
the top strip so they are even but make sure that you have left enough to fold
over and glue.
DONE
