Basket of cones: master class

When you have all the items listed above, you can start making a basket:

  1. First you need to connect the cones in a circle. Cones are fastened together by a thin wire in a circle. It is best to use a wire that merges in color with cones, so that it is not noticeable later. Turn the short end of the wire around the first bump, then twist it around the second, long end. / li>
  2. We put the second bump to the first and just wrap the wire around it. It is necessary to fasten between 10-12 cones in the ring in such a way that the lower parts of the cones protrude outward.
  3. Similarly, we make the second ring, however, it should be of smaller diameter - use this time 8-10 cones. Our basket of pine cones will be made of two rings. If you want to make a deeper basket, fasten the third ring of cones.
  4. We connect all the rings together with a hot-melt adhesive.
  5. The knobs for the handle of our basket are attached with a thin wire to the frame made of thick. Use 8-10 cones.
  6. At the bottom of the basket, insert a thick cardboard or 2-3 bumps with the bottom part outwards and fix them with hot melt.

It can be decorated with ribbons, branches, flowers or fruits. And on the eve of New Year's and Christmas holidays with the help of Christmas toys and your basket of cones you can make a beautiful holiday composition. We wish you successful accomplishments!
