Aside from using it as a laundry basket, you can also use this DIY as an organizer or spray paint it and use it as a piece of decor. It’s truly a fantastic project to do. Watch the video tutorial below to learn the step by step instructions.

Materials:

• plastic bottle caps
• laundry basket (for tracing)
• cardboard
• hot glue gun
• pencil/marker
• scissors (or box cutter)

Directions:

Step 1

To start, trace your laundry basket’s bottom on a piece of cardboard, then trace one bottle cap on the outside edge of the circle (use this as the basis to make the outer circle.) Once done, cut the shape out using scissors or a box cutter. Now, start building the DIY laundry basket.

Step 2

Start gluing the first layer of the plastic bottles, wrong side down, into the cardboard. After this, place your laundry basket in the center and start assembling the walls (your laundry basket will make it easier for you to build the walls of your DIY basket.) Keep gluing the bottle caps until you finished the basket. Once you’re satisfied with the height, remove the laundry basket and you’re done!
