It worked well & allowed the new basket to square up nicely. I believe I covered the inside of the tissue box with opened paper twist. Paper twist has a little soft bulk, which hides the base; newspaper doesn't have the same bulk, so you might have to remove the tissue box. If you didn't, perhaps lining it with gift wrap might work. For the handle, I braided the opened twist. I believe you could use a flat braid of newspaper for a handle.marlene41https://www.blogger.com/profile/03590760947256379683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-53479463908726603902014-04-13T15:39:38.411-05:002014-04-13T15:39:38.411-05:00Might try using magazine pages.

I did them two different ways to find the easiest way. It was a bit difficult. I made a mistake at one point. i used a glue stick. Next time I think I will use a stapler, cause I had to unglue some to put one of the sides in. I will do this again, but will learn from my first time. I love the basket. Just gonna add some wide ribbon to the top.
