This is a group picture of several new baskets and Easter cards that I sent a picture in previously. Please go to my gallery for directions on first picture.
After doing the first set I was not pleased with the handle on the basket so I changed my directions. The basket on the far right is my first basket (blue). Instead of using two seperate strips for the handle I used one strip at 2 1/2" wide then folded it in half (after folding it will end up the same size as the side of the box). This way it was much easier to attach with the glue on it without wrinkling. I also applyed ribbon to the handle to give it more strength. I just love the new corderoy buttons.
Also another tip, you might want to add just a tad bit of snail to the bottom closeure on the box. Because once I added my six pieces of nugget chocolate (wrapped in matching DSP strip) the weight of the candy made the bottom pop open. Remember that this basket is the sizzix box #2 die cut and I turned the box upside down to make the basket.
