We are visiting family on Easter and wanted to make some cute treat holders. I came across these cute baskets on Pinterest and Youtube. These baskets would be great for Mother's Day, Weddings, or for any table favor.
I made three different sizes. The concept is the same for each.
The small is made using a 6x6 piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) - here I used Friendly Hello which was free during this past Sale-a-bration period. You can get 4 baskets from one sheet of 12x12 DSP.
Score at 2" and 4" turn the paper and score the following side at 2" and 4" as well. Use a bone folder to crease all of the folds. You will take a corner and push the paper inward to form a triangle and crease well. See photo - you will so this to all 4 corners.
You will then take a hole punch and punch a hole in each of the 4 folded triangles. Take baker's twine or ribbon and feed it through each of the 4 holes, cut off enough of a tail so that you can tie it off. Pull the corners together with the twine/ribbon and tie a knot.
I used the Easter Friends stamp set located in the January-June Mini Catalog, stamped the Bunny Image with Momento Ink on Basic White Cardstock. I then colored the Bunny using the New Neutral Shades Stampin' Blends #'s 200, 700, and 800.
I fussy cut the Bunny. I then stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and die cut it out using a circle die. I stamped the chick on top of the sentiment using Crushed Curry Ink. I punched a hole through the Bunny and the Circle and thread the twine through them and tied off in a bow. Then you can fill as desired.
This next basket was made using a piece of DSP cut to 9x9, scored at 3" and 6" on both sides, following the same directions as above.
Lastly, I used a piece of 12x12 DSP and scored at 4" and 8" on both sides. I filled it with treats so you can see how much these cute baskets hold.
These baskets would be great for Mother's Day, Weddings, Showers or as part of any table favor.
Hoppy Easter to All! 🐰
