Before anything throwing away, think well, can it be made useful, maybe something creative. With creativity and ingenuity, even a cracked bucket can become a masterpiece. It does not take much time and material for such an alteration.
It was decided to turn our bucket into an original basket. By cutting the bucket in height, we get rid of the chip. We circle the bottom and make blanks for inserts.
Wrap the inserts and glue them, Don't forget to stretch the fabric.
To add volume to the basket, wrap it outside with a layer of synthetic winterizer and trim the edges.
Lay a fabric layer on top of the synthetic winterizer, which will become a cover.
For finishing, take a strip of fabric, the height of which will exceed the height of the trimmed bucket. The length of the cut must be at least a third greater than the circumference of the bucket. This will allow you to make a beautiful drapery inside and set the volume on the outside.
We glue the bucket from the inside, spreading the fabric evenly. We insert the bottom inside and glue it. We glue the mating part on the outside.
We run a decorative cord along the junction of the bottom and the bucket.
