Christmas Gift Baskets
This Gift Basket is approximately 5-1/2" (at widest) x 2" x 3-1/2" (6-1/2" with handle). The box bottom is 5-1/2" x 1-3/4". The file comes with a two piece basket base, basket bottom cover (to hide bottom tabs from inside), two basket handle pieces, four basket mats, and the paper elements shown. The file is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.
The mitten basket comes with paper buttons, I am using real buttons in my sample.
These baskets follow the tutorial below:
1. Cut out all your pieces and fold the basket base on the score lines. Adhere the handle mats to the handle pieces and the side mats to the basket base. Add adhesive to each side tab of the basket base as well as the small bottom tab. Place a strong adhesive on the basket base wide panel (where handle will attach). Add Adhesive to the back of the rectangle piece (this will attach to the bottom of basket to hide inside flaps). Note: Adhesive shown in image with white adhesive tape.
2. Set other pieces aside and just grab your two basket base pieces. Join the two pieces together by adhering one side tab to the edge of the other base as shown
3. Adhere the remaining side tab to for the basket base shape.
4. Flip the basket base upside down and push in the two small bottom tabs. Add adhesive to the front top edge of the large flap and the bottom top edge of the other large flap as shown with the white adhesive tape in the image.
5. Push the top flap down and adhere to the two small bottom tabs.
6. Adhere remaining tab down to finish the bottom.

8. Adhere your back handle piece to the back of the base then grab your rectangle piece.
