SMALL FAVOR BASKET

I've made a small basket for Easter. After completing the basket, I realized it would work great for a May basket, bridal or baby shower or any time a small favor "box" might be needed. It is made with George & AE. The only part that cuts with AE is the scoreline for the bottom, so if you don't have this cart you can just do that scoring by hand. One 6 x 6" piece of card stock is needed for the basket. The handle is a 1/2" strip about 9" long(I got this from my scrap pieces). This can be adjusted to suit your taste. To assemble, fold the tabs in (I always score first) and glue in place (quick drying glue works best). There are slots on two sides to weave the handle through. It will stay in place, but I put a small glue dot to be sure. I added some ribbon on the handle and some flowers with bling.

This is such a cute basket. Thanks for sharing the cut file. I had some of the same paper but used it all on Valentine's Day things and can't remember where I bought it!! But this will make a cute basket with any paper.
