I made these cute baskets last night on Facebook Live. It is a bit early for Easter, but since this pretty paper is back in stock, now is a good time to get it! The shredded paper I used in the baskets is also available right now on the Clearance Rack.
These baskets are easy to make from just a few pieces of cardstock and designer paper. You can make many in a short period of time. They are just the right size for a few treats – 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ x 2″.
I used the Best Bunny bundle and two circle framelits to create the elements for my pick. The egg is cut with a balloon framelit from the Candles and Confetti collection.
The pieces used for the baskets are as follows:
Cardstock 3 3/4″ square, scored 1/2″ from each edge
Cardstock (2) 1/2″ x 11″
Designer Paper (2) 2″ x 6″

I also showed these baskets, made with our Sweet Cups as a base. This is a great option if you need a closed container, and they are food-safe.
The cups are wrapped with Gingham Gala designer paper. The pdf below has a template for covering the cups. I added two 1/2″ x 11″ pieces of cardstock for the basket rim and handle. I used some circles and daisies to decorate the top.
Print this pdf at full size for a template to wrap the Sweet Cups. To use this template on the Gingham Gala paper, I had to cut a left and a right end of the pattern as shown below, each side is over half the length of the full template.
