EASTER EGG BASKET

Let's get started!

Make sure you have everything you need and find a clean surface to work on.

Step 1: Squaring your cardboard

Using the ruler, measure a 21cm square on the orange cardboard

Step 2: Draw your basket

Draw and colour in your self portrait.

Step 3: Cut your basket

Cut along the drawn circle.

Step 4: Ready your basket

Measure 1cm from one straight edge of the circle and draw a straight line along it.

Step 5: Final basket prepping

Fold in and press down along the drawn straight line.

Step 6: Readying your tissue paper

Place the tissue paper over the basket and cut to fit along the straight edges adding 5cm along the circular edge.

The folded 1cm straight line on the orange cardboard is not to be covered with green tissue paper as this will be used to glue the cone together.

Step 7: Attach your tissue paper

Glue the tissue paper to the basket using Bostik Eco Stik.

Step 8: Decorate your basket

Flip the basket over and decorate your basket using felt tip pens or pencils.

Step 9: Make your basket

Glue along the top of the folded orange line using the Bostik Eco Stik. Attach this glued line over to the other straight side to form a cone.

Step 10: Hole punch the basket

Using the hole puncher, create 2 holes - 1 on either side of the basket about 1.5cm down from the orange edge.

Step 11: Ready the handles

Twirl together the green and orange pipe cleaners.

Step 12: Attach the handles

Insert the handles into the holes on either side of the cone.

Step 13: Secure the handles

Using 2 small balls of either Bostik Blu Tack® or Bostik Blu Tack Colour®, secure the inside of the pipe cleaner handles.

Step 14: Check inside space

With handles attached, check your basket to make sure your all your Easter eggs fit!

All done!

Your carrot basket is ready for Easter!

ENJOY!

Enjoy your carrot egg basket and happy Easter egg hunting!
