Instructions

1. The first step is simply to print out the template. It is designed for A4 size paper. Hopefully you have a color printer to do this, as the finished result will look much better in the colors the template is designed for rather than in grayscale.
2. You will notice that the template contains three different sections. One of them is the main section which will become the basket itself. Next to this, you will see a small decorative strip which will become the handle. On the other side of this, there are several small Easter bunny pictures.Begin by separating these three sections. Cut out the strip from the center. Set it aside.
3. Next, you will want to cut out the small Easter-themed images. It does not matter exactly how you want to go about this. I decided to cut out little circle shapes around them.
4. You will now need to cut along the guidelines you see on the largest section of the template.
5. You have presumably noticed that the lines that you are cutting in toward the center of the page to not go all the way to the center. You can imagine an invisible line on either side where the cuts stop.
6. You are going to want to fold along both of those lines, and then unfold the page. It is important to get a nice, clean fold. One trick to doing this is to smooth over the edge using a plastic knife, as you see me doing in the video.
7. The next step is easy, but it is a bit tricky to explain. On one side of the page, fold the central tab upward while simultaneously pulling the tabs next to it on either side inward.
8. Hold all these together, and place one end of the strip which will serve as the handle over the join between them. Staple everything in place. It should only take a single staple to accomplish this.
9. Do the exact same thing on the other side. Pull the opposite end of the strip down and staple it in place as well to complete the handle and hold the basket together.
10. The last step is to hide the staples. To do this, you can use the circles that you cut out earlier with the Easter bunny pictures on them. You can attach one more to the top to complete the look (you can use hot glue for this as I did, or you can use another type of glue or even double stick tape). Now you just need to put whatever treats or decorations you want inside your basket and it will be ready.
