Craft Supplies &
Instructions:
- Milk carton
- Acrylic paint
- Ribbons - 5/8" wide for carton
- Wired Ribbon - 1 1/2" wide for handle
- Tape & Glue Gun
Cut the milk carton down to 3 1/2". Paint the carton. If your
carton does not have a lot of print, you may not need to paint.
I used Apple Barrel Victorian Green Acrylic Paint. Let the carton
dry. Cut vertical slits in the carton leaving 1/2" at the bottom.
Make sure each side has an even number of slits. I used four for
each side. If you want a tighter weave, cut more slits. Weave the
ribbon in and out, securing the ends on the inside with tape or
hot glue. When you reach the top, take a piece of ribbon and fold
it over the rim, gluing it into place. To make the handle, cut an
8 1/2" length of the wired ribbon and glue each end to the
inside. |
