Hello dear needlewomen and needlewomen! I want to bring to your attention a master class on making bread bins literally from improvised materials.

Bamboo napkin bread box


If you have long dreamed of such an accessory in your kitchen as a bread box, but did not know what and how to make it, then after watching this master class, you will understand that you do not need special tools and materials to realize your dream.

So, let's begin. What we need in work:
1. Any bamboo cloth.
2. Strong cardboard.
3. Self-adhesive film.
4. Scissors.
5. Glue.
6. Lace.
7. The fabric.
8. Pencil, ruler.
9. In the process, I decided to purchase a small wooden handle (it is not in the photo).

First you need to decide on the size of the bread box. Start from the size of your bamboo cloth. My napkin is 30 cm wide. The bread box will be 28 cm wide so that the napkin lies beautifully on top, 17 cm high and 20 cm deep. It will be more clear later. I cut from the cardboard a bottom measuring 28x20 cm, the front wall 3.5x28 cm. The back wall 17x28cm and 2 side walls 17x20 cm. Moreover, the side walls must be rounded so that the bamboo cloth lies smoothly.

We assemble our frame. At this stage, our bread box looks like this.

We glue the frame with self-adhesive. I chose self-adhesive for the color of the rattan, you can choose any color that will be in harmony with the interior in your kitchen. So, glue the bread box inside.

And now we glue on the outside.

Now our bread box has acquired a more attractive appearance, moreover, it has become much stronger. Let's start processing the bamboo cloth. I need to cut it into 2 parts, one of which the boot is equal to the height of the front small wall, i.e. 3.5cm

Tip: Before you cut the napkin, glue the threads that secure the napkin in place of the cut so that it does not creep out. On that part of the napkin, which is larger, glue the fabric. Some wipes are already sold with fabric on the wrong side, in which case you can skip this step. This will be the inside. I have a transparent glue, after drying it will not be visible.

And also, for a more aesthetic look, glue the sides of the napkin with lace.

Glue the lace on the other side of the napkin, which will be in front.

We still have the second part of the napkin, which we cut. Glue it to the front wall of the bread box.

Cut the threads (if you have them), and process the cut by gluing lace. Here we have such a neat cut.

Getting to the final stage of work. Glue the napkin to the back wall so that it gently lies on the side of our breadbox, with the fabric down. At this stage, you will understand why the bread box needs to be made a couple of centimeters smaller in width than a napkin. Our breadbox is almost ready.

It seemed to me that something was missing and in the first construction supermarket I came across I bought a small pen and put it on glue.

In conclusion, I want to add that the bread in such a breadbox does not dry at all (verified).
