Easter Baskets

Hello everyone, and happy Spring. I have another great 3D project to share with you today, some DIY Easter baskets. They are so easy and simple to create and I will share all my measurements, supplies and You tube tutorial in this blog post.

I started with a piece of FRESH FRESSIA cut at 6"X 6" and scored it at 2"and 4" and flipped it around and scored it again at the same measurements. I will add the basket template just below to show what it will look like after you cut and score it. I then scored it at 3/4", 1 3/8", 4 3/4", and 5 3/8" and marked a little tiny score at 3" from the trimmer using my PICK A TOOL scoring tip. I love this mulipurpose tool as it helps me do a lot of things while paper crafting. I flipped it around and did the same measurements. For the (DSP) Designer Series Paper you will need to cut (4) of these at 5/8" X 17/8" and will need (8) of these cut at 1/2" X 1 7/8".

Here is the basket Template for the first one I demonstrated on my you tube tutorial. I started cutting all the score lines to create strips for the sides of the basket. Follow along with me as I show you on the video how to add the strips to the basket after I added the (DSP) to them. For the second basket I did the exact same measurements except for the strips. The (DSP) is cut at 1 3/4" X 1 3/4" you will need 4 of these to add to 4 of the squares on the CARDSTOCK. To make the handle I cut a strip at about "6 at 3/4" wide. The (DSP) is cut at 1/2" X 5 3/4" you can adjust the handle size if you want it longer or wider. I will incude the you tube video just below and the supplies used to make these baskets. Thank you so much for coming by and reading my blog today.
