I’ve been busy with many stuff including crafting. One that I’ve done is this Multipurpose Woven Glossy Paper Basket.
I’ve been keeping several pages of 18×24 inches of rejected glossy uncut brochure for about 2 years. When I got hold of it, I thought it would be best to make a basket which is very good for grocery shopping or for traveling. You can also put packed lunch or toys. Put some floral foam inside and you can arrange flowers for stage display. Put some marbles and artificial flowers to decorate your home. A lot of things can be done using this multipurpose basket. Best of all, it’s recycled. You can make this a project for those who go for a home health care agency.
Size: base is 8×8 inches; top is 13×5.5 inches; height is 8 inches.
Finish: plastic varnish; color: mahogany.
Accessories: ornamental toole (lavender) with ornamental button.
Shipping and handling: to the US takes about 3 weeks. (Will ship anywhere.) Will be in a box roughly 14x10x14.
This is for sale and posted at Ebay. It’s one-of-a-kind and there will be nothing like it. There could be something similar in the future but that is yet to be known.

I was told my pics look pale. They look fine here but it’s probably my monitor. The pics looked dark in their original form, but then, it’s most likely my monitor so I’ll post the original pics below so you can see the real shots, taken only from an ASUS V80 camera phone, by the way.

Your bag looks shiny enough. Did you use varnish after weaving all the paper into a bag? It really looks nice. I like how you placed a scarf/lash to make it more girly (hehehe)…Good job!

Yes, it’s plastic varnish to make the bag last. Thanks!
