Fabric covered bins for Anthropologie -

Supplies:

white sweaters (Salvation Army)

hot glue gun, cardboard, scissors (any craft store)

cardboard tube meant for concrete, saw (Home Depot)

I made many of these fabric covered bins for Anthropologie in Farmington, CT. First cut the the tube to a desire height. Next, use the tube to trace a circle onto the cardboard. Cut that circle out of the cardboard and hot glue to the base of the tube. Now you have your bin. 

Cut the sweater into a strip of fabric that is slightly larger than the outside of the tube. Wrap the fabric around, then hot glue into place. Be careful not to burn your fingers because hot glue will go right through the sweater.

Hot glue the excess fabric to the outside base of the bin and around the top rim. Use another piece of fabric for the sides of the inside of the bin. You can fold the edges of the fabric to make a straight line. Lastly, hot glue a circle of fabric onto the bottom of the bin.

You can do this with any fabric. Try adding to an indoor flower pot!
