Plating skills

Step 1: Gather all of your materials nedded.

Step 2: Cut the top and bottom off your plastic bags. You may throw out what you just cut as you will not use it.

Step 3: Cut a plastic bag into strips the same size. Do this for all of the plastic bags.

Step 4: Get three pieces and tie a knot at the top.

Step 5: Watch this video for how to plait.
Step 6: Tie a knot at the end once you have finished plaiting them.

Step 7: Cut off the ends just before the knot and sticky tape all of the garbage bags together.  

Step 8: Grab a piece of card board and make a estimation how big you would like the base. 

Step 9: Make a massive bundle in your hand. ( not to tight to cut your circulation )

Step 10: Start doing your base. You can do this by going inside your outline and start at one corner and go down then up. As you go along you will need to sticky tape the lines together to hold them. Continue this pattern until your base is done. 

Step 11: Start at one corner and tape the corner so it won't move.  ( not too much tape as you will remove it from the cardboard later )

Step 12: Continue along the outline you created earlier. When you get to a new corner tape it as well.

Step 13: Continue doing this until you have run out of plastic bag rope. Tape anywhere needed.

You have successfully made a plastic bag basket. Have fun filling your basket with lots of different things.
