Mini Basket

A mini floral basket made with recycled materials. 

I have made the flowers and butterflies from the colorful magazine papers.

The base part of a juice bottle has been converted into a basket.

The inner part of the basket is covered with a mesh bag.

A woolen thread is used as a handle for the basket.

The beads added to the basket handle are the recycled beads made from waste rice bag.

Business Card holder

This Card Holder was hand-sewn from  rice bag which come in different colors.

I have used the rice bag scrap for the inner layer and the felt for the outer  layer.

The button and the elastic which holds the button were from some of my old dresses.
