Making a paper basket with Georgio Luna is a creative and eco-friendly way to turn simple materials into something sturdy and stylish. The process is very tactile, using just kraft paper, glue, and a bit of patience. Because the materials are so inexpensive, it’s a great project for beginners who want to practice weaving without investing in specialized supplies.
The technique involves crumpling strips of paper to give them texture and strength, then braiding them into long cords. You glue these braids around a flat paper base, building up the walls layer by layer. To keep the shape consistent, you can use a basket or bowl you already have at home as a mold. The final result has a beautiful, rustic look that’s surprisingly strong and perfect for organizing light items around the house.
