Paper basket

Why not weave a small basket?

Material is thin and strong paper (30 centimeter square). Japanese paper is good.
Divide it in twelve.
Paper

Make a long tape with glue.
Tape

Twist the tape. A tape of 30 cm will be 26-27 cm cord.
Twist

Cut off 3 bases. A base is 13 cm. Also the end of the longer cord is a base and a handle.
Cords

Now I change the color of bases to show the process clearer.
Start weaving

Center

The bases don't spread uniformly.
Weave

Weave the side.
Side

Cut the excess of the bases except 2. Glue the ends of the bases to the top line of the basket. Glue both ends of 2 bases. It is a handle.
Cut bases

Wind the handle with the cord.
Make the handle

Wind the edge of the basket with the rest of cord. Glue the end of the cord to inside.
Winding

Diameter is 4.5 centimeters.
Basket

When increasing the bases, it will be strong a little.
11 bases

Basket and handle

Glue the handle.
Wind the handle

Basket with lid

Baskets of various colors

Paper basket is rough and weak. It's only an accessory for doll.

If using a ready-made cord, you will make stronger one easily.
