Easter Basket

Hello Wonderful People,

With Social Distancing being our new normal, a recent team meeting took place via Zoom. Many thanks to Erica for setting up our meeting and sharing this fun creation. Six of us got together, virtually, and made the same project - each with a slightly different take. We made this adorable Easter Basket.



 

For your supplies you'll need a 6 3/4" x 5 1/2" and 1" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock to make your box. You can make the handle longer a/o wider if you like. I used Timeless Tulip Bundle to decorate the outside of the box but you could use Designer Series Paper or a floral stamp. You'll need some Whisper White Cardstock. I used up some scraps,  otherwise  a couple 1 1/2" x 11" pieces will work. I chose Granny Apple Green Cardstock and Ink. If you like, you'll also need a coordinating ribbon and decoration for the handle.

With your large piece of cardstock, score along each edge at 1 1/2". Fold and burnish each score line. While your cardstock is in landscape position, cut up into both the left and right ends and then wedge the tabs, as illustrated. Keeping the tabs on the inside, use the Tear and Tape to assemble the box.


Decorate the 1" x 8 1/2" strip before attaching it. I used the Florish Dies and Sparkle Glimmer Paper. Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach the glimmer paper to the strip. Make sure it's dry before you go any further. You could also use a piece of your favourite Designer Series Paper. If you got this route, cut it a little narrower than the strip of cardstock. Attach 2 strips of Tear & Tape, vertically, to the decorated and dried strip and adhere it to the inside of the box. The handle goes all the way to the bottom of the box.

Stamp 10 tulips, with Granny Apply Green on Whisper White, and punch them out. I used the liquid glue to attach them to the box. Finally I made 2 bows with the Granny Apple Green 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon and attached them with several Mini Glue Dots.
