Christmas Basket with a Tutorial

Merry Christmas!

Just one day to go - at least here in Norway :)

Today I'll show you a Christmas Basket I made for one of my crafting classes this December.

It has a hexagon shape, and it's quite easy and fun to make, so I thought I'd even give you the tutorial on how to make it your self :)

The basket is of course embellished with beautiful items from Wild Orchid Crafts!

Embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts:

Poinsettias, Open Paper Roses 15 mm & 10 mm, Rosebuds 4 mm, Satin Ribbon and Self Adhesive Rhinestones.

♥

How to make this Christmas Basket:

This is what you’ll need:

1 Cardstock + 1 strip of size 4,5 x 30 cm

Designer paper

Adhesives

Glue

Ruler

Papercutter/Scoreboard

Scissors

Edge puncher

Spellbinders circle or doily or something similar

Embellishments

Basket:

Cut 6 squares of cardstock in size 10 x 10 cm.

Cut and fold like the template says:

Use the edge puncher on top of each part.

♥

Cut 6 panels of designer paper in size 7 x 7,5 cm.

Cut as the template says:

Glue the pieces of designer paper on the parts of cardstock.

Glue the parts together so they become a hexagon shaped basket.

♥

Bottom:

Construate a hexagon like this: Draw a circle with a radius of 4 cm. Mark a point on the circle, then a new point 4 cm from the first, a new one 4 cm from the second…and so on, until you have 6 points on the circle. Draw straight lines from point to point, until you have a hexagon. Cut out the hexagon, and glue it to the bottom of the baskets inside.

Punch out a Spellbinder shape and glue it underneath the bottom of the basket, as a plate.

♥

Handle:

Cut a strip of cardstock in size 4,5 or 5 x 30 cm.

Use the edge puncher on both sides of the strip.

Cut a strip of designer paper in size 2,5 x 30 cm, and glue it to the strip of cardstock.

Glue the handle to the inside of the basket.

The basket is now ready to be embellished!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Creative New Year!

35mm Pale Peach Trellis Rose, 30 mm Coral Large Wild Roses,  White Cherry Blossoms, White Sweetheart Blossoms, 10mm Pale Peach Open Rose, Gypsophilia, and Large Metal Corners  all of these flowers are found at Wild Orchid Crafts!

Christmas is around the corner, I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Tim Holtz Tag Wild Orchid Crafts Style!

Hello Wild Orchid Crafts friends!  How many of you have been following along with the Tim Holtz Twelve Tags of Christmas?  Oh, I wish I had time to make them all!  Here is my version of one of his tags using my gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts products!!!!

Here you can see I used the 25mm Deep Red Open Rose, Holly Berries,  Semi-open Rose buds, and white cotton lace.

I used the pretty Crystal Drops and I hand dyed some vintage seam binding at the top.

My paper on the tag is from a hymnal book.  I found some hymnals at an antique store for 35 cents a piece! 

Thank you for visiting the Wild Orchid Crafts blog!

Happy Crafting,

Dena
