VINTAGE BASKET
This one is really a good DIY for a making a complete bicycle basket. It is not just a simple liner for a pre-existing bicycle basket... it is an actual bicycle basket in and of it's self!
You need
- 1 18″ reversible nylon closed zipper
- 2.5 yds. of shell fabric, 60″ wide
- 1.5 yds. of liner fabric, 60″ wide
- Coordinating thread
- 1 roll of kraft paper or pattern-making papper
- 1 tracing wheel
1 Hold on to both ends of a plastic drinking straw tightly, using your first fingers and thumbs.
2 Use a circular motion to wind up the straw, as in the diagram above. Keep twisting until you can't twist anymore.
3 The straw will now be filled with air - remember to keep holding on to it tightly. Ask a friend to flick the middle of the straw hard to make a loud popping noise!
