8. I used roll on adhesive to attach some 1/4" gg ribbon to my handle before adhering the handles to the inside of the basket. You can use sticky strip or a couple of glue dots to adhere the handles to the basket.
9. I stamped my image onto whisper white cardstock and puched it out with a 1 1/4" circle punch. I punch a 1 3/8" circle out of barely banana cardstock. Then stamped a scallop image (with bashful blue)onto whisper white and punched it out with the Scallop Circle punch. I layered those up together and placed 2 dimensionals on the end of the basket. Then added the Scallop piece.
10. To give the image piece a little shimmer, I used my 2-way glue pen then dusted it with some Dazzling Diamonds glitter = ) !! I love that stuff!!!
11. Make a bow with 1/4" ribbon and attach with a glue dot.
That's it! For some of my baskets, I placed a scallop image piece on each end, for some I just did one end. I kept it pretty simple, so I'm sure you'll think of lots of variations. It's a fun and easy little basket & I hope you enjoy making one!! Let me know what you think = )
Have a great evening!
What a cute Easter basket! Thanks for taking the time to make a tutorial. I can't wait to make one.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these tutorials. I am using your other little basket as a make and take for our March downline meeting. I have put a picture up on my blog and made sure everyone knows to come look at your blog for the instructions. I'm having a workshop a\on Monday and I think maybe we'll try out this criss-cross basket. They all loved making criss-cross cards and this is so perfect for Easter. Thanks again! ~chris

ReplyDeletenancy, this is just what i needed for my workshop on saturday! great WOW factor with very little prep! thank you thank you thank you...
ReplyDeleteWOW! It looks elegant and sweet.
ReplyDeleteI just wonder what kind of the scallop stamp you are using, and what brand of the punch to match so perfect with the stamped-scallopped-like-flower-image.
It is amazingly matched, it is wonderful.
Nancy, your tutorial is just great for your adorable little basket. I was so lucky to see these in time for my March Hostess Club party as I have the good fortune to live in the same community and being a long time friend of Nancy's. Thanks again Nance for sharing.

Your tutorial was fantastic with all the pictures. I have been a little afraid of trying this project until I saw your tutorial - even measurements, easy to remember, easy to do. I ran down to my stamp room and made up a sample right away. I have a church stamp group that meets here tonight, and I'm going to show them your technique. Thanks so much for the inspiration. You did a beautiful job with the colors and with the tutorial. Thanks again. God bless you. Elizabeth S. in mid-Michigan
