Fruit (Juice) Basket

Why not use this container to keep storing all of that important Vitamin C?

What you'll need:
an empty orange juice carton
old plastic grocery bags (about 3)
ribbon (used for wrapping presents)

1. Take your orange juice carton and cut along the vertical folds. Flatten out leaving the base intact.

2. Next cut each flap into five ¾" sections.

3. Then take old plastic grocery bags and cut into long strips, about 1" in width.

4. Flip the container over a bowl to give it the desired bowl shape.

5. Start weaving by taking a strip of grocery bag and fold in half. Slip over one of the spokes of the orange juice container and weave over and under. When you come to the end of the bag tie another on to the end and continue weaving.

6. Once you've reached your desired height, fold over the orange juice spokes and tuck them inside, under the plastic bags.

7. Secure the top by taking a paper punch and punching a hole in the center of each spoke and weave with ribbon used for wrapping presents.
