Tiny Treat Basket
by Cambria Turnbow
Fill these adorable little baskets with covered peppermint patties for any occasion.
Supplies
- 5"x 5" piece of cardstock
- Additional cardstock for punches
- Four 2" x 1 1/2" pieces patterned paper
- Scor-Pal™, or other scoring tool
- Slot Punch
- Round Scallop Punch
- Circle Punch
- Brads
- Ribbon for handle
- Adhesive
- Peppermint Patties either Pearson or York
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Score each side of 5" cardstock square at 1 1/2".
-
Step 2
Adhere strips of patterned paper to each of the outer center panels.
-
Step 3
Cut the two score lines on top and bottom of the square.
Punch a slot in the two center pieces that have the cut score lines next to them. -
Step 4
Fold one flap in and punch through existing hole to add a slot in the sides of the basket.
Repeat with each flap.
Hint:
Don't try folding the box sides up and punching through all three layers at once. The slot punch can only punch through one layer at a time. -
Step 5
Apply adhesive on the outer sides of the flaps and fold them in one at a time to create the basket.
-
Step 6
Loop ribbon through the slots and secure with a brad to make a handle.
Variation:
Instead of using the slot punch and ribbon, try a strip of cardstock attached with eyelets or brads. -
Step 7
Apply strong adhesive to a scallop punched cardstock circle.
-
Step 8
Adhere scallop to peppermint patty.
Decorate a second scalloped circle and adhere to the other side of candy. -
Step 9
Decorate the basket and fill with embellished patties.
When made using these dimensions, the basket will hold four patties.
