Article: If the laundry basket is too narrow for the wearer to slip on, you may also need to cut a straight line down the back. The basket will keep its shape, but you will be able to spread it apart enough to slip on if needed. If you cannot find a round laundry basket, you could also use a large, plastic, bucket-shaped toy tub. Hook two white suspenders to the top of the basket and adjust them so that they can cross over the wearer's shoulders.  You could also tie two cords or heavy-duty ribbons to the basket to mimic straps. If using a solid plastic toy tub, use a hot glue gun to glue the straps in place. Each fold should be about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) wide.  Measure the height and circumference of the basket before proceeding. The board you use should be at least as tall as the basket and three times as long as the circumference. If using standard size poster board, you may need to use 5 to 6 sheets. Staple the sheets of poster board together as you fold them. If possible, hide the staples inside the folds. You could also use heavy foil-based wrapping paper instead of poster board. Make an accordion fold by taking your first section of poster board and folding it over the remaining board. Make another section that is equal in width, but fold the board in the opposite direction so that the end of the board is still visible. Continue on in this pattern until the entire board is folded. Use a hot glue gun to adhere the folded board onto the basket. Draw a line of glue onto each inside fold of the board and press it to the basket to fix it in place. Instead of using glue, you could also attach the the board by punching small holes 2 inches (5 cm) away from the top and bottom of the folded board. Punch the holes on the inner folds to conceal them. Loop pipe cleaners or craft wire through these holes and around the cross bars of the basket.
