The problem of placing toys in an apartment is familiar to almost everyone. A basket for toys will help you deal with it! There are different options for baskets on sale, but a textile basket for toys you made yourself cannot be compared to a store-bought one. After all, it will be made with love, will be unique and will decorate your home. Anyone can sew it.
The following baskets are distinguished by shape:
- Bag-shaped - easy to sew, does not require reinforcement. Balls, rubber and soft toys are stored in it;
- A basket shaped like a pipe;
- In the form of a box - represents a rectangular or square box covered with the selected material.
- A hanging basket is a soft basket that is hung from a child’s crib. Small soft toys are stored in it;
- With handles and lids - they are very convenient, because they can be easily transported from one room to another, and are also hygienic - they protect toys from dust.
Most often, a basket for toys is made by hand from cotton, felt, denim, or fleece fabric.
The techniques for making crafts are varied:
- Made from whole pieces of fabric;
- Baskets woven from strips of material;
- Denim;
- Patchwork (pieces of fabric interconnected);
- Transparent (entirely or with insert strips). Very good, because all objects are immediately visible and you don’t have to search for the right one for a long time;
- Baskets that perform a developmental function - various decorations are sewn to the walls of the basket and serve as additional elements through which the child learns about the world. These can be pockets, buttons, zippers, clasps, etc.

How to make a toy basket with your own hands (knitted from fleece fabric)
To get started, let's prepare the necessary things:
- Material in 3 colors (red, blue and white). One meter each;
- Threads in the color of the material;

The height of the product will be 30 cm, the bottom will be 28 cm.
Performance:

- On the table we lay out, alternating by color, stripes of 2 different colors (red and blue);
- On top we lay horizontal stripes of the remaining color (white) and intertwine them in a checkerboard pattern;
- Sew a white stripe into the circle using a blind stitch. Do the same with the remaining 6 white stripes;
- Place the white stripes under the red ones, without touching the blue ones, which we bend inside our craft;
- On top there is a white stripe;
- Now fold the red ones without touching the blue ones. And so on until the end...
