Soap Scented Perfume BasketThis project is called "perfume basket" simply because of its fragrance. The scent doesn't come from any expensive perfume, but from a bar of soap. This will cost you less than a dollar and since it looks gorgeous and elegant it can best be used as a party giveaway, especially for weddings.

Total Time: 15-20 minutes

Yield: 1

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. First, observe the shape of your soap. I have chosen this soap because of it's shape. As you can see, it's oval and curved; a perfect shape to make it look just like a basket. Make the curve face upwards, it will be the top part. Notice that there is an oval shape around the soap brand. Carve a bigger oval around it using a push pin.

  3. Next, draw a line on the sides following the curves.

  5. On the bottom portion, there is also an oval shape carved around the brand name which is bigger compared to the one on top, so, no need to carve lines on it.

  7. Start inserting half of the push pins on the carved oval on top. Estimate the distance of the pins depending on the size of your ribbons. Mine is 1/2 centimeter so the distance is also about 1/2 centimeter.

  11. Get a piece of paper and fold it lengthwise, 1 centimeter in width. This will serve as the basket handle.

  19. Without cutting the ribbon, make a fence starting on the first end of the handle. Tightly loop ribbons in every pin until it reaches the other end of the handle.
