A Tisket a Tasket a Card Stock Basket!!

I made this basket using Stampin'Up! smooth card stock. You could change the color and embellishment and it would make a cute basket for Easter. I used the Blossom Punch on this basket and Melon Mambo and Whisper White card stock, brown ink, and Mixed Bunch Stamp Set.

Remove Sticky Strip backing from the two remaining flaps.

 Add two small strips of Sticky Strip next to each other on both ends of the          

¾” x 8 ½” “ Soft Suede CS strip.                                                                                   

Adhere to inside of basket centered on two opposite sections of hexagon basket to create handle.                                                                                                 

Adhere two mini glue dots to bottom edge of each ribbon, attach to inside basket just below handle.                                                                                                       

Wrap ribbon around handle until you reach the center, tie a bow and trim ends.
