McMahon Five Designs and Basket making Tutorial

I am so very excited to show you today's project that I created using one of McMahon Five Designs newest image called "Gift Of Spring". I created this lovely little Easter Basket which I also included a step by step tutorial on how it's made. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for popping in. Hugs Bonnie

Supplies needed:

heavy card stock

decorative paper

punch

ruler

scoring tool

scissors

glue or double sided tape

embellishments

*****************************

***Please note the penny is showing so my camera had something to focus on***

Cut your heavy card stock measuring 21cm X 21cm

Score both sides at 7cm and 14cm creating 9 equal scored squares

Cut on scored line as shown opposite to each other

Use your decorative punch on both sides that are not cut

Use glue or double sided tape and fold the cut ends creating basket

This is what your basket should look like at this point

 Use punch to make the basket handle measuring approximately 4cm wide X 22cm long

 Add decorative paper to your handle then use double sided tape or glue to attach the handle to the inside of the basket

Add panels using your decorative designer paper to the outsides of basket.

Embellish as desired adding goodies to the inside making it a fabulous gift! Good luck and have fun.
