DIY bread box from a plastic bottle: master class
The video of the master class itself:
To make such a bread tray, you will need:
- five-liter canister;
- scissors;
- five-ruble coin;
- napkins;
- PVA glue;
- water;
- halves of dry peas;
- acrylic paint in brown, lilac and gold;
- acrylic lacquer;
- brushes;
- marker.
For a 5 liter plastic canister, cut off the bottom and neck. Lay it on its side, mark the bottom 8 cm, cut horizontally on one side and the other to divide the workpiece into two halves.
Do not throw away the bottom of the bottle, cut it in half.
You will need two semicircular rings from it, which you need to glue from both sides to the main part. With the tape across, attach them to 1 and 2 half of the bottle, which will soon turn into a bread bin.
Cut the newspapers into strips, dilute PVA glue with water about two times. Dip strips of newspaper here, glue them over the plastic blank outside and inside in two layers.
Now liberally grease this paper surface on both sides with PVA glue using a brush. Take the top of the bottle, cut off the neck from it, it is not needed. Glue the blank with newspapers as well.
Wait for these parts to dry completely. Then glue the small rounded to the large one with a hot gun.
Draw wavy lines around the edge of the bread bin and the rounded leg part that will become the stand.
It is convenient to draw an openwork edge with a coin, applying it next to the previous outline, and also outline it with a marker. Cut along these lines with scissors. Dissolve PVA glue with water again in a ratio of one to one, coat the workpiece with this mixture, glue thin napkins here in one or two layers.
Take thick napkins with a pattern, separate this upper colored part, you only need the lower white one. Roll a thin tube out of each on the table, moistening with water. With these elements you will need to make an edging, glue them along the wavy edge of the bread bin.
Now glue the dry pea halves around the edges, with the convex side facing out.
Here's how the bread box is further transformed.
With your own hands, you will need to draw patterns on it, then glue various curls here from napkins pre-rolled into a tube.
To do this, apply glue with a thin brush, then attach paper elements here. When it's dry well, paint the bread bin with black acrylic paint.
Then apply lilac paint to the loops and other decoration elements, and then go for a golden one.
It remains to cover the product with acrylic varnish, wait for it to dry completely. Now you can lay a napkin inside, lay out the bread and serve it to the table.
DIY fabric and cardboard bread box
Surprisingly, these materials will also help you craft a bread basket. In such a container, it will look good, this device will help to set the table in an unusual way.
To sew it, take:
- two pieces of cotton fabric of a square shape with sides of 28 cm;
- a square sheet of cardboard with sides of 27 cm;
- ruler;
- Scotch;
- pins;
- chalk;
- ironing board;
- iron;
- scissors;
- braid.
Fold both canvases right sides to each other, stitch, leaving one side unstitched. This is necessary in order to turn the resulting bag onto the front side.
Insert a piece of cardboard here, stitch on the unsewn side. To make the edges of the bread bin look the same, make the same stitching along the entire edge of the rectangle.
Having stepped back 7 cm from the edges, draw a square inside with chalk, which also needs to be stitched. Join the corners, pin them together, sew here on a typewriter.
If you want to sew a round bread bin made of fabric and cardboard, then you need to draw a circle on thick paper with your own hands, this will be the diameter of your product along with the sides.
It is necessary to cut 2 canvases, put a circle of cardboard between them, sew the edges using braid. You will sew it on the edges perpendicular to this surface. A total of 12 tapes are needed, two for each fragment. Then you tie them up, make a breadbox with sides.
Instead of fabric, you can use a blank that you knit yourself. This is very easy to do. The result should be a square like this, but without corners. Two identical parts are required.
Put it on a piece of cardboard, cut it out according to this template. Fold the product so that the two cut out parts are on top and bottom, and the cardboard is inside. But first, the sides of the cardboard must be bent to give the product a shape.
Sew it in the corners and you have a bread basket like this.
If you want to close the device so that the bread does not stale, then take on the following type of needlework.
Weaving bread bins from newspapers, paper: master class
This is how beautiful bread boxes are made from tubules. To do this, take:
- newspaper and magazines;
- thin stick;
- clothespins;
- tray with sides.
If it is a decorative bread box, you can use newspapers, but for a real one it is better to take thick paper that does not contain dyes. First you need to roll up the tubes. Let's start weaving a lid out of them first. Take 6, place them next to each other.
Place two more on top of them, secure those with the third.
Using the same technology, attach two more tubes, placing them next to the ones that have just been fixed.
Take a couple more of these elements, place them next to the ones you just made. Also secure the data with the third tube, positioning it with a cross.
Continue to weave further, but in a circle with a string of two tubes.
See what should happen at this stage.
As you can see, this blank needs to be attached with clothespins to a rectangular base. Then, use a tray for this. To give the tubular breadbaskets an oval shape, then weave only on the elongated sides.
After that, weave again in a circle, then braid the sides of a deep tray or other container of a similar shape.
In the same way, not only the lid is created, but also the base of the bread bin with your own hands with lower sides. Run a handle on the lid so that you can remove and put on the item.
This is how weaving from newspapers or paper is carried out. If you have the opportunity to work with wood, then look at another option for making this useful item.
Diy breadbox made of wood
For this kind of work, you will use:
- planks;
- bamboo mat;
- joiner's glue;
- small carnations;
- wine stopper;
- furniture handle;
- plastic food mat;
- furniture stapler.
The dimensions of the elements of this product are shown in the photograph.
- under the number 1 there are four parts - 2 will go for the bottom, one is the top, another one for the back panel;
- under the number 2 there are two sidewalls;
- number 3 is the front panel.
Everything is extremely simple. You need to cut out these parts, knock them down with small nails. Then the corners at the top are sawn off.
Cut the wine cork into 7 pieces and glue them to the bottom of the bread bin. They will become the legs of this item.
Attach a furniture handle to the bottom of the mat, and attach it to the front of the bread bin using a furniture stapler.
Use a plastic cutting board as a pallet, you can saw off the excess. To make the sides, make small cuts in the corners, lift the edges of the pallet up.
This is how you get a wonderful bread box, made with your own hands from wood and a mat.
Birch bark bread box: master class
Before doing it, read the rules for preparing this material.
- In order not to destroy the tree, it is necessary to harvest the birch bark in the permitted places where the trees are to be cut down.
- Collect the bark during the period of sap flow, then it is most pliable.
- The birch bark is dried naturally, without the use of fans and radiators.
- After that, various irregularities are cut off so that it becomes as smooth as possible on both sides.
- Boil water, put birch bark here, boil for half an hour.
- The last stage is drying the material, after which you can move on to creativity.
To get such a wonderful birch bark bread box, you need to cut it into ribbons with a sharp knife, from which we will create a craft. In common people, this type of weaving is called a "rug".
You can use two weaving options. For the first one, you need to put an even number of stripes horizontally. Starting at the left edge, interweave them through one. The second strip is also attached vertically, but staggered in relation to the first. The third tape repeats the amplitude of the first.
For the second method, you need to bend the edges of the previous tape to the next.
To secure the edge of the straight weave, add stainless steel wire when creating this piece of birch bark bread bin. See how you need to attach additional tape during the weaving process.
To create a birch bark bread box, take 24 strips cut from this material. Half of them will be needed for the vertical, half for the horizontal.
When you complete the body, you need to arrange the corners between 5 and 6 with tape, using the same method described above.
Then you need to make a bread bin lid, the height of which is 1, 5-2 diagonals from strips. Decorate the edge with cloves.
In such a birch bark bread bin, the bread will remain fresh for a long time, it will not grow moldy, since this natural material has bactericidal properties.
You already know how a wooden bread box is made. But not everyone has such planks and tools for cutting them out. Check out another master class that will solve this problem.
DIY bread box made of available materials
To do this, take:
- thick cardboard;
- bamboo napkin;
- scissors;
- self-adhesive tape;
- the cloth;
- lace;
- glue;
- ruler;
- pencil;
- Furniture handle.
Calculate the size of the bread bin parts based on the size of the napkin. In this case, the napkin is 30 cm wide, so the bread bin will be 28 cm wide. Based on these dimensions, cut out from cardboard:
- front wall 28 by 3.5 cm;
- the bottom is 20 by 28 cm;
- two sidewalls measuring 20 by 17 cm;
- back wall measuring 28 by 17 cm.
To make the napkin fit well on the sidewalls, use scissors to round off their sharp corners. Start assembling the bread bin frame by gluing its parts.
Now you need to paste over this blank with self-adhesive film. Choose the color so that it is in harmony with the color of the kitchen. If you like wood products, then you can also use rattan cling film.
Stick it not only from the inside, but also from the outside. Take a napkin, cut a strip from it, with which you will decorate the front panel of the bread bin. Glue this piece, decorate the upper edge with lace, attaching it in the same way.
We continue to work with most of the rest of the napkin. Sometimes on such things, the reverse side is decorated with a canvas of fabric, if you do not have this, then glue the fabric on the back of the napkin.
On the front side, glue the lace on the sides and bottom.
Glue a part of this napkin to the back wall so that it goes down, covering the bread bin in front. Now you understand why the napkin should be a couple of centimeters wider than the breadbox.
To make it easier to fold the napkin, take out or put bread, glue a small wooden handle to the bottom.
Here is such a wonderful device for storing bread. You will spend a minimum of money on it, and if you decide to buy a bread basket in a store, it will cost you much more.
DIY step-by-step decoupage of a bread bin
You can not only make a bread bin from scratch, but also decorate an existing one. If it is monochromatic and you want a holiday, cover it with Provence-style flowers. This way you can renew the old bread bin.

Acrylic primer will make wood more durable. Acrylic paint is better on such a surface. When the primer is dry, coat the bread bin with the paint you want. In this case, white was used. Side stripes are covered with blue.
Cut the napkin into the desired pieces, separate the upper part. You will need it for further decoration.
If you have a special glue for blending, use it, if not, then take PVA, slightly diluting it with water. Using this solution, glue the napkins on the surface of the bread bin, let it dry.
If you want to add an antiquity effect, then in some places rub the surface of the bread bin with sandpaper.
Apply three coats of varnish, letting each dry. This is how you can decorate a bread bin using decoupage.
