Instructions

• Gather up all your materials so everything's ready at hand.
• If you want to add color, paint your coffee filters with your acrylic paint and let them dry flat.
• Once dry, take one filter and fold it into quarters for a wedge shape.
• Put the folded filter into a small bowl to form the basket's base shape.
• Repeat folding and shaping for several filters to create enough layers for sturdiness.
• Use glue to stick the layers together and to the bowl, pressing gently.
• Let the glue dry completely before handling the basket.
• Cut a piece of wire for the handle, push through the filters, and twist ends to secure.
• Ensure the handle is secure before using your basket.
