Using the whole of an A4 sheet of paper for one basket(zero waste), I’ve created this simple paper basket for a great little craft project. Ideal for parties, egg hunts, Easter table decorations etc.
You can either draw out the grid on your sheet of A4 paper or lightweight card using the pattern as a template or print the pattern direct to your A4 sheet.
You can use pre-decorated or colour paper, draw your own patterns on it or add your own paper decorations or stickers to it (remember to pattern the reverse side of your sheet if printing pattern).
The heavier weight paper or card you use, the stronger the basket but the harder it will be to cut out!
You will need:
A4 paper, scissors or craft knife, ruler with finger guard, sticky tape, double-sided tape or paper glue. (I prefer to use sticky tape and double-sided tape.) Stapler for handle if necessary.
Directions:
Using pattern as a guide, mark or print out pattern onto A4 paper.
Cut along the solid lines, fold along the dashed lines using the edge of the ruler as guide.
Stick Tab A and Tab B to inside of Panel C.
Stick Tab D and Tab E to inside of Panel F.
Secure the corner edges of the basket with tape, if needed.
Fold two handle strips lengthways. Overlap ends and stick together securely with tape to make long handle. Attach to either the outside or inside of basket (where Tabs meet on panel to hide seam). Staple handle in place for extra strength, if needed.
Warning: Please take care with sharp edges, scissors and glue with young children!
