Paper Weaving








Start with a 12x12 sheet of Background & Texture paper. Cut slits every 1/2" from 1/2" down to 11 1/2", so you have a 1/2" border at the top & bottom.
Cut strips 1/2" x 12" & weave over/under/over/under until the weave is complete. Make it as tight a weave (push strips close together) or loose as you wish.
Tack down the ends of the strips with Bonding Memories glue.

To score & fold into a basket- my photo shows 1 1/2" measurements. You can make it easier if you score at 2" instead vertically, then score 5" & 7" horizontally. Use a bone folder to crease score marks.
Cut flaps to fold in, use super strong adhesive to adhere basket.
Add border & handle as you wish!
