• Download the template and trace onto cardstock. Cut and score the sections where indicated. Cover the eight petal-shaped side panels with patterned papers.
• Assemble the basket by joining the sides together using double-sided tape on the folded tabs.
• Create a handle from a 30cm strip of card covered with patterned paper. Fold under 2cm on both ends and use these tabs to fix the handle to the inside of the basket.
• Make decorative flowers for the handle by unfurling a length of raffia and wrapping it around two fingers in a figure of eight. Secure the centre of the wrap with twine.
• Fan out the petals of the raffia flower and glue to the handle. Cover the twine with a circle of patterned paper.
