Crafting Tips

Create a unique look for your basket by using different colors and patterns of scrapbook paper around the top edge.
If you don’t want to hand letter anything on your basket, try decorating it with stickers or stamps.
Use Tombow MONO Xtreme Adhesive Tape for the best, strongest permanent bond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use cardstock instead of chipboard?

Yes, but chipboard is thicker and will give you a more sturdy basket. If you are using cardstock, I suggest adhering two pieces together to add an extra layer of thickness.

How big is the basket?

You can create it in a variety of sizes, depending on how you cut your pieces.
