Star Lace Waste Paper Bin

I was shopping for waste paper bins for my office, when I saw one in the store that almost looked like it was crocheted. So naturally the wheels in my head started turning! I adapted the star lace pattern so that it could be done in the round for this project and I just love the end result. Instructions are included on how to customize the pattern to different sizes. I found that cotton yarn worked best, as it absorbs the glue better, but you can also experiment with different yarns. Step-by-step photo's will not only show you how to crochet this project, but also how to easily stiffen the crochet work using glue. A printer-friendly version without photo's is also included at the end of the document.
