Quick post: wastepaper basket

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.
