I was browsing web sites and blogs one day when I came across a site that had posted samples of baskets the size of a party favor. I printed off the template and tried unsucessfully to enlarge it to get a better idea of how they were made. When this did not work, I just grabbed some paper, a trimmer and bone folder and started measuring, cutting and scoring. This picture is what I came up with when I was done. After I got my template for the basket I did another and decorated it and then decided that it need something in it so I made the cards. I am very pleased with how this turned out. I was so pleased that I tried to make another one (berry basket) and I will be posting that one tomorrow.
