Classic Scalloped Square or Rectangle (Large) Spellbinders Nestabilities die-cut
(I used the square.)
Scor-Pal (or other scoring tool)
Scissors
Paper trimmer
Double-stick tape or other adhesive
3-D foam
Pattered Paper
Cardstock
Easter stamp and ink (optional)
Step 1: Using the square or rectangle, die cut your desired cardstock/paper. You will need 4. Two for the front/back, then two for the sides.
Step 2: Score in between the last scallop-edge to edge. See photo. On the front/back piece ONLY score bottom. On side pieces score both side AND bottom. On the side pieces snip the corner (triangle off).
Step 3: Bend all scored edges FORWARD. Apply adhesive to all bent edges.
Step 4: When putting together - line up the tops scallop to scallop.
Step 5: Create a bottom for the basket. Cut a 3 1/8 inch square and adhere. (If you use the LARGEST scallop rectangle, it turns out to be 3 1/2 inches squared, for your bottom piece. It becomes a square due to the way the sides are scored.)
Step 6: Add a handle. Cut a strip of cardstock about 1 1/4 inches wide by 11 inches long-end - will fit perfect. I added a slightly thinner strip of patterned paper to the handle. Put ends of the handle on the inside. They will also keep the sides from buckling in.
Step 7: Decorate the basket as desired. I cut out flowers on the patterned paper and adhered with adhesive and 3-D foam.
Step 8: Fill with grass and candy.
