DIY: Crochet Yarn Basket

Can we make something from milk boxes? Yes sure!
Instead tossing those milk boxes in the trash, use them to make a basket.
Let's make something useful! This is very easy DIY.
Let's go!



1. You'll need:
    a. 4 milk boxes
    b. Old cloth/fabric
    c. Scissors
    d. Glue gun
2. With scissors, cut a box into 4 pieces
3. Cut the top and bottom side
4. Cut again into 4 pieces. So you'll have 16 pieces from 1 milk box and 64 pieces from 4 milk boxes
5. Start weaving your strips together. Over, under, over, under, trying to keep the strips perpendicular to each other
    a. For the bottom, you need 21 strips. Weaving 10 strips going one direction into 11 strips going the other direction. Glue on each side and fold upward.
    b. For the left and right side, you need 5 long and 9 short strips. Weaving 5 long strips going one direction into 9 short strips going the other direction. Glue on each side
    c. For the front and back side, you need 5 long and 8 short strips. Weaving 5 long strips going one direction into 8 short strips going the other direction.
Unite them with glue gun.
6. Voila! Your basket is ready to use.
7. Add old cloth or fabric to make it more beautiful




I use the basket for my crochet yarn. I love crocheting but I'm so frustrated, they are so messy! But now, they look neat on the basket. Yay!
