These are 2 of the 30 mini Easter baskets I am making for the kids in our church. When I saw today's IC799 challenge photos on pinterest, especially this one https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/788763322238695859/
I was reminded of these papers that I had stashed away. These baskets were inspired by a you tube video by Karen Titus. I played around with the sizing until I found an easy measurement for a small basket. Starting with a 4 1/2 inch square, score at 1.5 inces and 3 inches on one side, turn 45° and score again. This gives 1.5 inch squares. Round all 4 corners. Cut from side to first score line on the score lines, on opposite sides. Glue the side flaps over the middle one, at an angle, making a basket shape, rather than a square. Do this on both sides, add a 5/8th wide by 6 or 7 inches for the handle. Then decorate.
