PUMPKIN BASKET

I found this cute pumpkin basket on Becky Roberts blog www.inkingidaho.blogspot.com. I made a "bigger version pictured below. See instructions below that Becky Roberts provided on her blog.















1. Cut cardstock to 2-1/4" x 5-3/4".
2. Score along the bottom at 1".
3. Score the length at 1-3/4", 2-3/4", 4-1/2" and 5-1/2"
4. Cut on the score lines up to the intersecting score line at a slight angle (to
avoid any overlap and it 's cleaner look). Cut off the little piece at the end as
shown in the photo.
5. Punch 5 ovals with the Wide Oval Punch, sponge the edges for added depth. I used
Pumpkin Pie cardstock and ink.
6. Handle is 6" x 1/2".

















7. Apply SNAIL adhesive to back of the center punched oval and start layering the
ovals on the left and right sides alternately.
8. Bottom view is what the back looks like when complete













9. Fold the box and secure with Sticky Strip.
10. Attach pumpkins to the front and back of the box.
11. Hand cut little stems and stamp leaves if desired.














12. Attach handle with a brad.
