Making a Box into a lined basket



So I decided to try a new project tonight and try my hand at a tutorial as well. It may prove harder than it looks! I started with a cardboard box that Dan's ipod dock came in and cut the flaps off.



Then I hot glued some cute Dollar Store wrapping paper to the box. You could probably Mod Podge it as well, but I was experimenting and short on time.



Here is what it looks like once I finished wrapping the box. You will need to glue down well so it doesn't pucker. Also wrap it around the whole bottom and an inch into the inside.



Next I followed this youtube video:

How to sew a basket liner

I did it step by step to make the liner. The only thing I did different was to use ribbon instead of elastic around the top. I also glued my liner in so that it didn't slip out.

And this is how it turned out!
