Supplies Needed
Fold that paper in half again.
And again.
Now, trace around the outside of the paper to create a rounded edge.
Trim off the excess paper following your rounded lines.
Unfold and set aside to use later.
Follow the same process, on a second piece of paper only tracing and cutting into a pointed edge rather than rounded.
Now, use the rounded template and trace onto the first color (gold) glitter paper.
Cut out the gold piece and set it aside.
Use the pointed template and cut out of your second color (green), and set it aside.
Use your scissors to cut between each rounded "petal" of the first color of paper as shown. Don't cut all the way through, just down to the base of each curve.
On the gold side of the rounded piece, you will add a double-sided table or a bit of craft glue on one side of each rounded petal, as shown.
Now, you will flip the gold paper upside down with the white being on top, fold in each "petal," and connect to the one next to it as shown.
Once all are connected, you will attach the bottom piece.
The pointed piece will attach with the white side down and the colored side up and attached to the bottom of the basket base.
Next, cut out a long strip of both colors of foam paper to create a handle.
Attach the green to the gold as shown.
Glue or tape the handle in place with the colored side out.
Glue a few fake flowers on top of the handle and on sides as desired.
Fill with fake grass and treats, then gift!
