How to make them

• I cut 1/2″ inch wide paper stripes and I kept the length of an A4 sheet of cardstock.
• The length of the stripes was cut a few times when needed.
• For the base, I used a 4-1/4″ circle die from the Postage Edge Circles die set by Spellbinders.

So these baskets’ diameter is 4-1/4″ and the base is 2″ deep.
You can make them in any size.

To bear in mind

• My videos are fast (60 – 90 seconds) but they illustrate the very easy papercraft process.
• In real time it took me 10 minutes to make the baskets and 20 to decorate each while I browsed through my supplies to see what could fit.
• You can find slower videos on Youtube making these or other designs of paper woven baskets.
• There are many ways to achieve similar or better results.
• As this is packaging, I won’t bother trying to achieve perfection.
