Pepsi Carton Woven Basket














































Supplies:
recyclable 12 pack pop carton
Tools:
yard stick
pencil
scissors
glue gun and glue sticks

1) Open pop carton at glued down seams and lay flat.
2) Measure out 1/2" horizontal sections. Draw guide lines. Cut along lines.
3) Weave a basket weave pattern for the bottom (I used a 6x6 pattern-make sure to center it). Fold up sides. Weave along perimeter (I used 4, and glued down each strip at the beginning and end to hold in place).
4) Fold over top pieces into basket, either trim and glue or attempt to tuck into place.
5) Put stuff in it.
Tip: Make it your own by using beverage cartons of your choice and varying with the pattern. Use it as a gift basket.
