What if you could make your own picnic basket in just minutes and without any tools? That’s exactly what we’re going to show you in this blog post. By following our simple instructions, you too can create a Wicker Picnic Basket in no time at all!
What You’ll Need
To make this wicker picnic basket, you will need:
An old basket or bag
Wicker fabric
Thread
Scissors
Stick or heavy object to hold the fabric down while you sew
Using a pencil, trace around the inside of your basket then cut out the shape. It doesn’t have to be perfectly accurate. Next, cut the fabric into four equal strips. Make sure they are at least 2 inches wide. Now use a needle and thread to sew one strip of fabric to the inside of each corner of your traced circle. Leave a 1-inch gap open at the top for turning. Finally, using your stick or heavy object as a guide, sew up the gaps around the edge of your basket. When you’re done, give it a good sanding and paint if desired!
