Step 1: Measure and Cut Paper Strips
To the base of your basket, you will need to cut your paper into strips. Choose the color or pattern you want, and then measure and cut the strips. The width should be around one inch, while the length should be approximately twice the circumference of the basket you want to make. You will need between six to eight strips.

Step 2: Fold the Strips
Using a ruler, make four folds evenly spaced across your paper strips. Gently fold the strips at these points to create a zigzag pattern.

Step 3: Weave the Base
To start weaving, take two strips and cross them right over middle zigs and zags of each strip. Make sure they are tightly folded down. Weave your next strip in between the first two strips. Continue weaving in this pattern, switching under and over the strips, until you have weaved all your strips.

Step 4: Form the Base
Once you have completed weaving the strips, use your bone folder or credit card to gently press down and smooth out the folds. Then, lift the sides of the basket up to form the base. Glue the edges of the strips together with a glue stick or hot glue gun to secure the shape.

Step 5: Create the Sides
Now it’s time to create the sides of your basket. Measure and cut the same strips as before, but this time, the length should be half the circumference of the base, and the width should be half an inch.

Step 6: Weave the Sides
Start weaving the strips of paper between the folded down middle zigs and zags of the base strips. Make sure to position the strips perpendicular to the base strips. Continue weaving until you reach the desired height of your basket.

Step 7: Finish the Edges
Once you have reached the desired height of your basket, fold the top strips down inwardly, weaving them through the top zigs and zags of the last row. Cut off any excess strip ends, then glue the edges down with a glue stick or hot glue gun to secure the shape.

Step 8: Add a Handle
If you want to add a handle to your basket, cut a long, thin strip of paper and fold it in half. Glue the ends of the strip to the top of two opposite sides of the basket so that the handle forms a U-shape.

Congratulations, you have just made your very own paper basket! You can also add some decorations to your basket like ribbons, buttons or bows, to personalize it.
