My ‘me time’ – fast furious diy basket’s lid 😂

Hello!!! HellOoooooOoo…hello!! Everybody! How are you? Today, I got a lil time for myself..so I made some diy items.

My room is super duper dusty lately. I’d bought dust mite vacuum, but unfortunately the parcel was lost during shipping. I bought it again, and hoping it won’t lost again.

Because of my room sooo dusty, so I was thinking to cover up all my baskets. You really can’t see with your eyes the dust on fabric, but its there 🥲

So I do some research on how to diy it by using recycle things I have now – boxes.

Things you need to make this lid are:

1. Scissor or cutter

2. Glue gun

3. Marker pen.

4. Ruler.

5. Big empty box.

6. Wrapper paper.

7. 10mm jute – optional

DIY basket’s lid 😃🥰

1. Make a measurement of the existing box. Well, u can measure using the ruler, but I prefer easier way. Just put the basket like this on the box, then line it 😂

2. Then, u make a straigh line with all points with thicker marker pen.

I make few points on the box, then straight it with ruler and thick marker pen.

3. Cut all the lines!! I cut it with blade first, then cut it with scissor because the box is soo thick 😀

4. After cut all the lines, I glue the lid with glue gun. U need to wait for quite some times before applying the glue, to ensure the glue is smooth, coz we want a smooth surface for the glue. Until, its liquid state, then only u apply it on the box. Or else, it will easily tearoff and not glue properly 🙂

Cut the lines, and glue all the edges, make a rectangle lid.

5. Once u can see the lid shape, wrap all way with wrapping paper. I prefer use whatever I have now. U can do ur own creativity to decor your box.

Glue all the wrapping paper using glue gun 😁

6. I glue it all the way. At the both ends of the box, there are some extra paper. So I fold it and glue nicely.

And…fold like this…i glue the end and glue it all the way…hahaha. Im glue here…glue there..glue here..glue there and glue all the way…haha..gluing while singing the song!! 😂

7. Tadaa!!! My box’s lid is DONE!!! Just a finish touch up to make it a smooth finished product, I glued jute rope at the edge of the box.

Tadaaa!! Okay, u need a lot of patience when gluing this. U can’t do it fast, because it will smear or glue wont stick longer. U need to do it, slow and steady..then u will have a smooth nicely glued jute rope 🥰

8. ALL DONE!!! 😍 My basket is a flexi material. I can bend it to fit the lid 😂😂 Doesn’t fit? Just make it fit right there by force 😆

Jeng jeng!!! The finished product is here. Now dust can’t easily go into my things in that basket..hahahaha. Problem solved 😆

Till then…..to be continue…

Love, Sofia
