Materials:
- markers
- tape
- stickers
- stapler
- scissors
- glitter and glue
- any other decorations you'd like
Directions:
- Using a 9X12 piece of paper, fold to form a square as shown (View 1
and 1a).
- Cut the remaining portion of the paper as shown (View 1a). Keep the
strip you just cut. You'll need it for the handle of your basket.
- Unfold and cut along the crease, stopping at the center of the square
(which turned, now looks like a diamond) as shown (View 2).
- Begin creating your basket by folding corner C up to Corner D (View 3).
- Continue folding Corner E to Corner F (View 4).
- Your basket will be complete when you fold Corner G to Corner H (View 5).
- Staple your May Basket at the corners indicated by the Xs (View 6).
- Decorate the basket on one or both sides. Allow any glue to dry before
continuing.
- Cut the strip you had leftover at the beginning down the
middle-lengthways and tape or staple the ends together to make a long handle
(View 7).
- Staple the handle to the sides of the basket (View 8).
- Fill the basket with whatever you want (real grass, fresh picked
spring flowers, paper flowers scented with perfume, homemade cookies, mini
muffins or candy).
