Paper Gift Basket

I love this paper gift basket. Probably a 10 minite make max. I was out shopping at one of my favourite craft shops in Irene when I spotted this on display in the craft class.

I was drawn to it. I picked it up, took a long hard look and thought, I can make this. Back home I used plain square paper and played around until I figured it out. Basically, fold your square double print card stock into 3 equal colums, repeat the 3 colum fold vertically. Now you have 9 equal square folds . Fold each corner inwards forming a triange. Punch the triangle tips and thread ribbon through, tie a pretty bow and you're done. A second option is to continue to tighten the fold, tuck the flaps in, hold the 4 sides together with ribbon or glue and you have a box. As you can see in the bottom photo, I didn't glue it as I just wanted to give you the idea.

Happy Crafting.
