Now, I'm just going to show you how to assemble the basket using plain white cardstock so it's easy to see the score lines, folded flaps, etc. BUT since we're using cardstock it is PERFECT for stamping, inking, painting, incorporating all sorts of cool techniques and embellishments.

The sky is the limit to spruce these little babies up!

They are perfect to create a personalized little basket for each person on your Bunny List ;)

Instructions:

1. Cut a 2" strip off of one side of your cardstock.

2. Score and cut all lines as directed.

a solid line _________ = Cut Lines

a dash line - - - - - - - = Score Lines

3. Apply a dab of adhesive on the 3/4" flap on both of the short ends.

4. Fold these ends over and secure.

5. Apply a bit of adhesive on the 3/4" flap on both of the long sides.

6. Stand the short ends up and position the square end flaps on the inside of the long side. Fold the side flap over ~ this flap will secure the ends in the upright position as shown.

Repeat on the other side.

You should now have a nice basket bottom!

7. Fold and attach handle to the basket and you're done!!

Told you...

quick, fun and easy!

So now there is no excuse for not having a fun little basket of goodies for all the special little (and big) names on your list.
