Decorating Supplies

Step One – Tear the pages out from an old magazine. Starting with the bottom right hand corner and tightly roll the paper to the top left corner. Younger kids might need some assistance with this part. And then secure the roll with a little bit of glue. You may need to hold the roll for a few seconds until the glue is dry.

Step Two – After deciding the shape and size of your basket cut the paper rolls to match.

Step Three – Glue one paper roll to another along the seam. Repeat this step until you have the desired length you want your basket to be.

Step Four – Glue paper roll seam to end of the basket bottom, on all sides of the basket.

Step Five – Glue paper rolls seam side down on top of the outer paper rolls on the bottom. Repeat this step until you have a basket with the sides as high as you want them.

Step Six – You can decorate the basket any way you want, or you can leave it the way it is. Have fun and go crazy with this step.

 

Old Magazine Basket #2

Step One – Tear the pages out from an old magazine. Cut each page in half, or thirds, or even quarters if you want. Roll each strip up the long way. Secure the seam with glue. You may need to hold the strip until the glue dries. Repeat this step until you have made several sizes, and enough rolls to create a basket.

Step Two – Roll each paper roll the long way again until you have created a paper roll circle. Secure with glue. Repeat this step to the other paper rolls you created in step one.

Step Three – Glue several paper circles together to create a bottom. Or use one big one and branch off of it.

Step Four – Glue the paper circles together working in a circle until you have created a basket. To make this step easier you could glue them together around a balloon. When finished simply pop the balloon.
