I have this thing for storage, so I was happy to find the newspaper basket on craftstylish.com. Only problem was that it was made out of newspaper, which is messy. Instead I decided to make use of all the garbage printout paper that I've been saving. The final result is great because I folded the print side in resulting in a basket that looks like its made from square marble mosaic tiles. Please click on the demo images for the tutorial. For each basket you will need:
- 20 pieces of scrap paper 8.5"x11"
- scissors
- a heavy book
- paper clips (optional)
- glue (optional, I didn't use any and my baskets are strong)
