Treat Basket

I made a few of these treat baskets for the upcoming chocolate crop. They're so cute and so easy to make. Throw a couple chocolate kisses inside and you have the cutest little gift. I used the Unforgettable Paper Packet but you can use any paper you like.

These are really small so I used a 6x6 piece of cardstock. Here's the instructions:

Supplies Needed:

1 piece of cardstock
1 piece coordinating B&T (Background & Texture Paper)
18"matching ribbon


Directions:

Step 1: Cut a 6x6 piece of cardstock. Score Cardstock at 2”and 4” inches, rotate paper 90 degrees and score again at 2” and 4” inches ( this creates a grid on your paper. All scores should fold inward

Step 2: Score and fold corners at 45 degrees to create triangles. Fold inwards.

Step 3: Cut B & T into 9 squares 1 ¾ x 1 ¾ inches each. 4 of these squares are cut diagonally in half. Glue to fit in triangle areas on scored cardstock. The next 4 squares fit on the scored squares of cardstock. The last square is glued to the "bottom" of the basket

Step 4: Use hole punch to punch one hole at each corner. Pull corners together and secure with ribbon.
