Recycle: Turn Plastic Bottles In A Plastic Basket

Reuse plastic containers (small / big bottles) for crafts is one of the most appreciated idea by the skilled recyclers. The plastic baskets made from plastic bottles strips are very beautiful. The trick to achieve the desired shape of the basket is to first make a strong cast, preferable cardboard. You will need tape to hold the strips in the beginning. The first step is to cover the bottom of the cardboard with ribbons, one next to the other and make up the sides to the top edge. After that you need to fix the inside of the cardboard with tape. Secure the sides of the basket with rubber bands around the mold, so that the tapes remain straight.

Weave the bottom with tape placed perpendicular one to another. Perform the tissue by passing one above and one below, while the next row needs to be made ​​upside down, below and above the fabric thus acquires the shape and consistency of basket. Finish the top edge with the excess weaving strips bent inwards from the inner side of the basket with more finite strips
