Today Brenda is sharing with us a wonderful little Easter Basket Tutorial! Enjoy!
Start
by cutting the A4 sheet of card down to a 21cm square and score
in both directions at 7cm intervals so your piece is divided into
nine equal squares, then score the four corner squares diagonally as
below. Crease all scored lines and you will see the shape of the
basket coming together. The four diagonal corners scores need to be
carefully folded inwards.

Next
cut 13 – 6.5×6.5cm squares – five of one pattern and 8 of a
contrasting one. Cut four of the five in half diagonally and stick to
the inside of the folded corners and the fifth the inside base. Stick
the eight matching ones to the four inside and four outside square
sides.
Cut
four shapes with your chosen die, then stamp and colour each and
stick onto the four outer squares…….make sure you get them the
right way up and not upside down as I did on my first attempt !!

Finally
pop an eyelet into each of the four corners, draw the basket up into
shape and thread ribbon through the eyelets. And walla, you have a
pretty little basket to fill with Easter goodies.

Dang! I could look up metric to inches conversion, but I don't know what size an A4 card is.
Unfortunately, we don't have A4 paper here but it looks really cute.
