Basket Weave Box

This basket-weave box is made out of recycled old magazines and painted over with acrylic paints with a layer of varnish. It was made a couple of years ago using basketry techniques - lots of fun. What I like about this is that it's made of old magazines - get something new from something old ... save the environment!

And a close-up to show the weave.


Supplies - old magazines, wires, acrylic paints, varnish, strong glue.
