Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!
Our theme this week features an Easter favor.
This is awesome! After today, you’ll be set for your treats!
I went with an Easter basket –
Well, I created several of these because they were so quick to make!
They hold lots of goodies too!
Directions –
- Designer Series Paper 3 x 6
- score at 2 and 4
- cut strips 3/4 x 6 (you’ll have 4)
- cut 2 strips coordinating card stock, 3/4 x 7
- on one, add 2 strips of Tear & Tape down the whole length
- use bone folder to soften the strip and make it curvy
- the other 3/4 x 7 strip, set aside
- fold along score lines making a square U shape
- remove a portion of the Tear & Tape cover, add 1 of the DSP strips perpendicular to the solid strip
- add the second strip leaving about a 1/16 space between strips
- add the third strip
- add fourth strip
- remove the rest of the Tear & Tape cover
- going back to the first strip, add it next to the 4th strip, making a square U shape
- take the second strip add it next the fifth strip
- you are creating a woven look as you work around
- take third strip add it next to the sixth strip
- take the fourth strip and add it next to the seventh strip, making it the last strip added
- take the over hang of the solid card stock and add it next to the first strip
- the second 3/4 x 7 strip cut, add to pieces of Tear & Tape to just the edge, this will be the handles for the basket
- use bone folder to soften the strip and make it curvy
- adhere one side where seam is, add other side directly across
- decorate and fill with candy!
