Strawberry Basket



  This reminds me of a Nantucket basket with the double handles.  
We made this cute little basket in Stampin' Club.

6 x 6 square Crumb Cake cardstock scored at 2 and 4 inches.
Make 2 cuts on the top and bottom sections as shown here.
Make a triangle cut in the middle section.
The 1st and 3rd sections: cut in thirds.



Trim 1/4 inch off the 2 strips closest to the middle triangle on each side.
2 strips closest to the triangle.
Sponge Soft Suede ink on all edges.
Fold all score lines.
Assemble: 
Glue outside long strips together to make the basket shape.
Glue remaining 2 strips.
Glue the triangle in place and trim, if needed.
Punch two 1-inch Crumb Cake cardstock circles; 
Sponge edges and fold in half.
Glue circles over tip of triangle.
Cut two 1/2 x 6-inch Crumb Cake strips.
Finish the edges with a corner rounder.
Sponge with Soft Suede ink.
Punch both ends of the handles and both sides of the basket, as shown.
Attach with gold brads.
This adorable basket was filled with Brach's strawberry candies... 
The perfect springtime gift!
