How to make a flower basket with colored paper

What do you need:

Colored craft papers

Step 1

Cut out a rectangle paper from dark brown craft paper, this will be the base for the basket. Cut out strips from light brown colored craft paper, we’ll use these strips to weave the basket

Step 2

Attach the light brown strips along the top side and either left or right side of the rectangle base cutout. The strips should be attached outwards

Step 3

Fold in the side strips neatly and align them with the rectangle base. Grab the side strip from the top ones and weave it over and under the side strips

Step 4

Now grab the next strip from the top and fold it inside the base, and then weave it over and under the side strips but keep the weaving criss-crossed with the previous strip
