Attractive, sturdy bias-plaited baskets can be woven from strips cut from paper grocery bags. The size and shape of the basket are up to you, but for starters, try a simple square form.

Weave with your kids, try it with your housemates or anyone else you are hanging out with these days. Make an afternoon of it. The instructions will help you with your first one, and from there you can branch out into other sizes. Who knows, you may find you like basket weaving and want to pursue it further with other materials.
