Making this paper weave bag baskets will help to organize your stuff or when playing with the kids and anyone who receives this DIY craft will be impressed with your creativity.

What you will need to make the paper basket:

• Colored paper (A4 size)
• Glue
• Scissors

Instructions to make the paper basket:

First, get ready your materials and tools. Have a clean sheet of colored paper. You can have any color you want.

Then fold it into half (lengthwise) and cut it by the folded line.

After that, fold it into strips with your desired length.

Collect them all!

Now, let us start weaving! Align the four (4) strips as this is the base of the basket.

Next, apply this one over-under one technique.

Repeat the weaving technique for the next strip.

Until you have this form. Eight (8) strips all in all (4 horizontals, 4 verticals).

Then fold all the sides tightly.

Afterwards, perform the same weaving technique (one over under one) for this part. Get another strip you made. Use different colors to make it more attractive.

To start this part, fold the tip in half inch to hold the other side of the inside box by using glue.

Weave it.

Repeat the same method for the next layer.

Fold the left tips of the strip paper then glue it inside the box for it to look neat.

You can also cover it with the strip paper you made to hide the folded tips of the strips.

Lastly, get another strip you made for the besket's handle. You can cover it with scotch tape for it not to crample easily when you grab it.

Achieved! This is the final output.

Grab it! It's yours.
