How to make a soap basket? Materials needed: Oval or round soap Satin ribbons, 0.5 cm wide Safety pins
Work process: 1.To start working, you need to prepare the base for our craft, that is, insert pins into the soap along the edges. From the edge, make an indent of about 0.5 cm. First, stick 4 pins on opposite sides. Between them, install the remaining pins at equal intervals.
2.For decorating with flowers, do not stick the pins too deep, so that the sides are higher. 3. This is what the blank for a soap and ribbon basket looks like. Note that the indent from the edge is larger at the bottom of the base.
4.Next, we fix the ribbons to make a soap basket. We take out one pin and insert it back, while fixing the ribbon with it. 5. The next stage of creation is the formation of a soap basket and ribbon. We slowly move the ribbon from the bottom to the top between the pins. This must be done by braiding with pins, thus obtaining eights.
6. The side half is done. Next comes the stage of creating the edge of the soap basket. After finishing the work of weaving the side half, do not cut the ribbon and begin to weave it further than the pin.
7.If you wrap the pins in several layers, the edges of the basket will look better. The pins should not be visible at all. 8. To make the basket look more natural, you need to place more needles at equal intervals along the central half on the side. 9. Weave additional pins in the same way as before. You can stick the needles not in a straight line, but in a wavy line. 10. Now we proceed to the decor. We make the handle from wire and wrap it with ribbon overlapping. Next, you need to bend it and attach it to the base.
11. Decorate the middle of the base as you wish, using flowers, ribbons, bows or other decorative elements. 12. The basket itself can also be decorated with various decorative elements.
Use your imagination!A Simple Way to Make a Basket from SoapThere is a simpler way to make a basket from soap and ribbons. The process is the same, only we use a paper template. 1. make a paper template 0.5 cm smaller than the soap itself. 2. fold the template 4 times and mark the marks at equal intervals where the pins will be located. 3. cut the marks. 4. place the template on the soap and secure it with two pins in the middle.
5. Stick the needles into the marked places around the entire perimeter.
6. We fix the end of the ribbon, first we need to bend it.
7.Then we proceed to winding the pins using the technology already discussed. 8. Since the pins are close to each other, the sides are immediately formed. 9. At the end, we attach the ribbon with the last pin.
10. We make the handle from a ribbon and beads similar to the first option. 11. The basket is done and now it can be given as a gift!
