     There are other options how to make a basket. One is to fold the half cut old newspaper into half for a larger size of basket to make and cut the middle of the half of old newspaper. Second, for large size of basket to make, fold it into ¼ and cut it again with scissors. Third, the ¼ cut old newspaper or any paper fold it into triangular style fold. Cut the center fold of the triangular style fold of the old newspaper or any paper to make for a small basket.

3.     Roll the prepared materials, old newspaper or any paper into the thin wood or any stick (size 30-70 centimeters long). Don’t put the thin wood or any stick on the center to roll on the end tip of the triangular style fold, half or 1/4 cut of the old newspaper or any paper. It is hard to pull-out the stick into the rolled old newspaper or any paper.

     Make sure that you rolled gently. It’s okay to flat the rolled old newspaper or any paper. After you rolled, use the paste or glue on the tip end of the triangular style fold, half or 1/4 cut of the old newspaper or any paper you made.

Make more of this procedure number 3 to make a basket or box.

            There are two sizes of what I did in rolling old newspaper or any paper: 
(A.)If you want too much thin in rolling of old newspaper or any paper (size 
       0.05 centimeters thick)… Use ruler for measuring the size. Or

          (B.) If you want 1 centimeters thick in size of rolling old newspaper or any
        paper. This is better for making boxes or if you want to make a tray, it’s
        one good option.  

       Optional: There are lots of styles in making this old newspaper or any  
                        paper. You will make a box or tray not only a basket. It’s you
                        who will decide to design your own styles in making?            
                        Whether a basket, box or tray. It’s the same procedure. You
                         will learn from procedure number 4 about your own style 
                         and design while doing the procedure.
                           
4.     After you make more of procedure number 3, put one piece on top to another one piece of rolled old newspaper or any paper, and put another pieces of rolled old newspaper or any paper on top of the two pieces you made. 


Try more pieces of rolled old newspapers or any papers to form a basket by placing another more pieces on top of each piece of rolled papers. Be patient and it would take time. You will see that you will make a style of basket. It’s up to you what styles of basket you will make. Whether round, square and rectangle style.  


Put one piece of rolled old newspaper to another rolled old newspaper. Make more of it by doing such as in the picture until you reach your own style of your own basket.
  
Another tip in making a basket handle: If you want to add a basket handle. Prepare rolled old newspaper or any paper in triangular style fold for small basket to make or half and 1/4 cut for larger or large size of basket to make, then put one piece on top to another piece of rolled old newspaper or any paper. Make more of it again by doing this procedure. You will have to make a knot style in your basket handle. 

Make a knot style. Clip the end side to make a knot style.


After the knot style, use the paste, glue, or rugby in the basket handle and carefully place it on the side of the basket you already made, (What you made in procedure number 3). 


Paste or Glue the knot style handle on the side of the basket, and add cut paper to glue it on the side to make your handle durable. In this  picture the basket have been varnished and finished.


This is an example of Knot Style Handle in your basket. One is for Small size and the other for larger. Two half cut rolled old newspaper used for Small size of the basket. The Larger size is 6 rolled half cut old newspaper is used to make a handle basket.


This is the example of a different style of the basket for a larger size to make.



This is an example of the bottom of the basket.


5.     After you have made a basket with handle to make. Prepare paint brush, varnish or any color of the paint. Paint the basket or box. Whatever color you like.

6.     Wait until properly dry the varnish or painting of the basket you already paint. Decorate it with ribbons and laces. Prepare the glue stick or rugby, match, and candle to use it in ribbon and laces for pasting.
