New Easter Baskets!

 This Bunny Basket is approximately 3-1/2" (at widest) x 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" (6-1/2" with handle).  The box bottom is 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".  The file comes with the basket base, four basket mats, the handle and handle mat, and the pieces to build the bunny.  The file is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.


Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut out all your pieces and fold the basket base on the score lines.  Adhere the handle mat to the handle, centering.  Adhere the two basket mats to the areas without the slit.  Add adhesive to the side tab and the three bottom tabs.
2. Fold the base over to adhere the side tab.
3. Flip the box over (upside down) and push in the three bottom tabs.
4. Adhere the bottom flap in place, making sure to square up the box!
5. Flip your base over and insert the handles into the slits of the base.  I use the edge of my desk to slide the handle over to give it a nice curve!
6. Adhere the remaining basket base mats in place.
7. Assemble your bunny!  I glue the ear insert in place then use a foam adhesive to adhere the head to the body.  Adhere the black eye pieces to the whites and then adhere the eyes to the head.  Adhere the nose/whiskers in place and then use a foam adhesive to adhere the nose piece to the whisker piece.  Place adhesive along the front bottom of the bunny body.  This will be glued inside the basket base.
8.  Adhere the bunny to the basket then place foam adhesive to the arm pieces.
9.  Adhere the arm pieces to the basket and adhere in place (following the shape of the face for alignment).  Embellish and fill as desired!
