Easter Basket

Here's the Easter Basket we made during the Shoebox Swap.  

Here's how you make it...

Score as shown above and cut along your score lines as shown. Cut from the 4 1/2 inch side up to the score line on both ends, creating 3 tabs of equal length and width.

Fold basket on all score lines and fold together as shown. Holding tabs in place on one end, punch through all three layers. Do this on both sides.

The handle is 7 inches by 1/2 inch. punch a hole in each handle end as shown.

Put brad through all tabs and through one handle end and fasten by folding brad tines back. Do the same on the other side and your basket is done! You can do all sorts of things to decorate. Mine are really simple, because I wanted to demonstrate a quick and easy project. When you use designer series paper and designer brads that coordinate it's really easy to create a WOW factor with your simple projects.
