Valentine Baskets
Large Scallop Heart Basket
This basket comes sized at approximately 6" x 6" x 5-1/2" (10" tall with handle included) when assembled making this one perfect for stuffed animals, t-shirts, lots of candy, homemade goodies, or even toting in those classroom treats! The file is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut out all the pieces (2-slotted heart bases, 2 non-slot heart bases, 2 square inserts, 4 scallop detail hearts, and the handle pieces). Starting with one of the slotted heart bases, place adhesive on the backside bottom panel and front side side tab as shown.
2. Adhere a non-slotted heart base to the side, lining up the bottom panels. Place adhesive on the side tab.
3. Adhere the other non-slotted heart base to the remaining side, lining up the bottom panels. Place adhesive on the side tab. Place adhesive on the front side bottom panel of the remaining slotted heart base as shown.
4. Adhere the slotted heart base in and adhere all side tabs.
5. You will have 2 of these square pieces. One will go on the inside of the basket and one on the bottom. This covers seams as well as provides stability so your basket can hold more weight. Make sure to center the pieces in place.
6. Your basket should look similar to this now!
7. Grab your two handle pieces. You will notice a small dash on one straight edged in about 1/2" up. Place adhesive down from that line and adhere the two pieces together to form one handle piece.
8. Curve your handle piece by sliding it along the edge of your desk or table.
9. Insert the handle in the slotted heart bases. Adhere ends of handle in place.
10. Use foam adhesive to adhere your four detail heart pieces in place! Tie a bow at the top of the handle piece to cover handle seam and fill as desired!
