You will need:

• a stick
• old newspapers and magazines
• a brush and glue
• clothespins for hanging clothes
• two pieces of cardboard
• acrylic colors

Roll up each page of the newspaper around the stick and at the end of fix the sheet with glue.

Let the glue adhere well to the paper by using the clothespins and after it dries remove the stick.

Take one piece of cardboard and draw a grid as shown in the image, arrange the rolls of newspaper (rods) in a symmetrical manner with respect to the parallel sides, then glue on the other piece of cardboard and allow everything to dry.

Put a cardboard box inside the "shell" which will be created by pulling up the newspaper rods.

Now is the time to weave the other rods horizontally between the vertical rods and glue the ends together at the corners.

Once you reach the desired height for the basket, just cut the remaining rolls ...

and fold them down inside!

Now, your basket is almost ready, but you need a little something extra to make it appear more trendy and in style!

You can do that by applying acrylic paint! Paint the basket inside and outside, maybe a nice white ... et voila! Here is your stylish DIY basket made of old newspapers and magazines!
