Make and Takes blog has a great embellishing tutorial for those $1 containers you can find at most stores. We love the idea of using all of our various ribbon pieces to make these pretty!!
Supplies for Ribbon Container:
- Ribbon: 3 – 3ft long pieces or 1 long 9ft piece, any color
- plastic basket with holes – mine was from the good ol’ Dollar store
Take your cut ribbon and start at the top, weaving through each hole.
Make sure to leave at least 4-5 inches at the outer end to tie into a
bow when it’s done. I chose to do three colors of ribbon, one for each
level of holes on the container. But you can easily use one long piece
of ribbon for the whole thing.
Weave the ribbon all throughout the container. Once the ribbon has
gone through each hole, tie the two ends together in a bow. My son made
one for his room to hold his CDs. He liked threading his green (always
the color green) ribbon through the holes, making sure not to miss one.
These are easy to create and would make great gifts for anyone needing a container. I’m thinking teacher gifts!
