DIY Baskets From a Cereal Box

diy twine basket

Originally I made these baskets for our guest bathroom which is right next to our front door and it gets used a lot by little boys who are still learning to aim in the toilet.  On top of that the guest bathroom is a dreadful country blue, help! Needless to say, our guest bathroom needed a little something, something.

After a few months of having it in our bathroom I moved it to my desk and now I’m using it as a desk organizer.  I actually love it a lot more on my desk.

Can you believe this was a cereal box.  These baskets cost a good $12 at the store this cost me 0$ because I already had the supplies.

2. Take some fabric and measure it around the cereal box and cut it that length and about 6 inches wide and glue it around the box.

3.  Fold fabric in half to 3 inches and glue.

4. Cover the box with twine by applying glue and pressing twine over it. Do that over the whole box.

5. Fold fabric over twine!
