Weave a Paper Basket!
Supplies:
- Two pieces of construction paper 17 in. by 12 in.
- Scissors
- Tape
First, take a piece of paper and fold it in half. Open it up, and fold the sides in to meet the center crease. Fold the edges to the center again.
Take your scissors and cut out the strips. You should have eight strips per piece of paper.
Place four strips down and weave four more strips across them.
Once the bottom is ready, fold the loose ends across the bottom to form the sides of the basket.
Then, take two strips, tape them together and weave them around the sides. (You may want to tape them in place.) Once you have made it completely around the basket, tape the ends together. Repeat until the sides are complete.
Cut off any excess pieces, and tape the edges at the top of the basket together.
Attach a strip to the sides to form a handle.

If it’s in the Bible, The Pirate Preacher knows the story. The gospel he teaches and preaches is not his own nor is it the opinion and words of theologians and scholars who study Scripture as though God’s word is dead.
Rather, he receives teaching daily by revelation from the living Spirit of Jesus Christ.
Monday nights he leads a “Jesus Study” in Moore Square, Raleigh, NC. Each Sunday you will find him in the park and at the bus station helping others enjoy the abundant life Jesus promised. Our Lord says, “I came that you might have life and that you would have life in all its fullness.” (John 10:10) The Pirate Preacher believes we are to participate in making the fullness of Jesus complete in others.
The Pirate Preacher helped launch Christian Devotions Ministries and is the former CEO of Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas, a Christian book publishing company. He’s also a Writers’ Coach.
