Illustrated tutorial on how to make your own felt storage basket

I like all kinds of storage baskets, but I don’t want to spend money on them. So, I thought of an ingenious way to make felt into various storage boxes, which can be used to place different items depending on the depth. Are you friends also a little excited? You only need to prepare felt cloth, and you can follow the diagram below to make them step by step!~

Materials and tools: sewing needle, sewing thread, 4 mm thick felt, scissors.

1. Determine the size of your basket and cut out the felt pieces as shown in the picture above.

As you can see, it only takes 3 measurements and changes the size accordingly.

If you want the basket to have handles, cut out strips of felt as shown by the dotted lines.

4. As you can see in step 1, I used a piece of 100cm * 85cm felt. After cutting out the required parts for the storage basket, 4 small pieces of 25cm * 25cm felt were left. I just sewed the corners and made four storage trays.
