it’s THURSDAY with SANDIEBELLA!

Supplies:

Score the 5.5″ x 6″ piece of card at 1.75″ on all four sides.

On the 6″ side, cut on each of the score lines up to the intersecting score line – on both sides.

Fold and burnish the score lines.

Fold up the centre section and then fold in the outer sections as shown. Staple in place.

Repeat on both sides.

Place the corner of the 6″ gingham paper into the 5″ groove on the scoring board. Ensuring the opposite end is also in the 5″ groove, score at 4″ and 6″.

Flip the paper over to the back side, place along the 5″ groove again and score at 2.25″ and 7.75″

Turn the paper so the score lines are horizontal and, using a ruler as a guide, score in between the 2 centre score lines at 3.75″ and 6.25″

From the centre score lines, mark with a pencil at 1″ each side of the lines, as shown.

Apply adhesive to the underside of the outer triangular tabs and adhere down.

Turn the paper face forward and curl up the edges of the outer sections.

Apply a strip of double sided tape the underside of centre section.

Remove the tape backing and push the gingham insert into the basket.

Use glue dots to adhere the sides of the gingham insert to the basket, then fold down the long edges over the basket.

To create the handle, curl the 5/8″ x 8.5″ piece of card through your fingers. Apply adhesive to approx. 1″ of each end, then adhere outside the basket on each side.

Apply foam tape to the back of the image panels and adhere over the handle.

Cut a bow from the gingham paper and adhere above the sentiment.

Fill the baskets with candy, a small gift, or cookies. A perfect gift for Mother’s Day and many more occasions.
