Cross Over Baskets

 These cross over baskets are super easy to assemble.  They are approximately 2-3/4" x 2-1/2" (5" with handle) x 2-3/4" and are compatible with both 8x12 and 12x12 mats.  The file comes with the box base, box handle, coordinating mats, and the decorative paper elements shown.  The basket and decorative pieces can be used on their own or together as displayed in the photos.  

 Here is the tutorial:

1. Cut out your pieces.  Adhere the mats in place.

2. Insert the basket handle in one of the slots so the tab is inside.

3. Insert the remaining handle on the other side.

4. Place adhesive on the basket sides as shown with the white areas.

5. Adhere the sides to the basket base as shown.

6. Repeat for the other side.  Cut and assemble the decorative piece.

7. Adhere the decorative piece over the criss-cross with foam adhesive.  Embellish and fill as desired.
