We wanted a wastepaper basket in every room, because the flat is long and sometimes it's too much effort to walk to the kitchen! I had 2 already, for the study and bedroom. Since most of our time is spent in the lounge, we figured that we really needed one in there too.
When I unpacked my craft box I found the packing paper I'd saved, and decided that it was perfect to make a woven basket out of (instead of buying one). I decided on blue for the living room a while ago, so I went with blue strips for the highlights:
It's a small basket, but big enough to hold all those itty bits that accumulate! I just put a small plastic bag in it to keep the paper nice and clean!
So, there you go, a waste paper basket made from waste paper! Perfect. See my previous basket, here. Click here for the tutorial.
