Anneli/Bockfilz, the black lining is actually my belt wrapped around the base to help set the glue as I had added another round at the base to secure the uprights and I was doing this with craft glue and glue sticks. <br />I like the idea of the plastic bottle caps very much as they are everywhere and not so recyclable. I could see that as a little basket for coins or keys or something. I also thought this morning that if you cut up toilet rolls that you could make rounds easily. But as you note they may fade weirdly.Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615312735934679102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079554682048845509.post-82690422538536486472011-02-11T08:11:01.666+01:002011-02-11T08:11:01.666+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285955329715784307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079554682048845509.post-63554899704142675212011-02-10T15:43:34.158+01:002011-02-10T15:43:34.158+01:00I love this too, Jude!

And of course I want to try this out as well!<br /><br />Wonder if it would be possible to use plastic bottle caps for the first version, using a glue-gun ... Maybe a smaller container - or loads of caps!<br /><br />In the late 70:s I once wove a waste paper basket with newspapers in a similar way - I believe I used double brown package cardboard for the bottom and upper lining. But I remember it bothered me that the newspaper turned quite yellow after some time. I guess magazines are a better option for this - and magazines are harder to recycle elsewhere anyway.<br /><br />What's the black lining at the bottom of the second picture?Anneli/Bockfilzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10055116575322157760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079554682048845509.post-6627940137647084502011-02-09T15:49:07.775+01:002011-02-09T15:49:07.775+01:00This is fabulous!This is fabulous!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11365754238160499271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079554682048845509.post-58395898397706647892011-02-09T14:16:21.068+01:002011-02-09T14:16:21.068+01:00Now that is a great idea!
