For This Project You Will Need:

· FabScraps Egg-Stravaganza Collection paper range : C115 001 and 004

· FabScraps Paper Embellishment Pack Coordinated to the collection

· Coordinating Cardstock – colour of choice, matching the paper collection 30 x 30 cm (12 x 12 inch)

· Adhesive: Double Sided Tape, Glue(Tombow or dry clear glue)

· Embellishments: Paper flowers, Large (I cut and made flowers from the 8 x 8 Paper Pack)

· Circle punch or dies, approximate 1 inch and 1.5 inch in diameter.

· Decorative borders punches or dies.

Instructions:

1. Cut the 12 x 12 cardstock down to 9 x 9 inch. Cut and Score as per the template provided.

2.       With a bone folder, burnish all the score lines to form a crisp fold.

3.       To assemble the basket: Lay the cardstock with the triangles facing the top and bottom. Take the outer 1 inch strips and join together and glue with a strong adhesive. Now take the centre 1 inch strips and join them so that it is matching up to the 1^st 2 joined strips. Do the same with the last 1 inch strips. Fold the triangle strips up over the joined 1 inch strips. Fold the little lip it forms at the top, over the side of the basket and glue down. You should now have a basket shape as per photos.

4.       Punch or die cut 2 of the larger circles from the C115 paper and fold in half. Adhere over the sections where the 1 inch strips were joined together.

5.       From the cardstock, cut a strip measuring 9 inch x 1 inch. This will be your basket handle. Adhere the ends of the strip to the insides of the basket, as per photos.

6.       Punch or die cut 4 of the smaller circles from the C115 paper. Adhere a circle on the inside and outside of each of the handle bases.

7.       Punch 1 inch strips from the C115 paper with your border punches and adhere on the inside and outside edges of the basket.
