Easter paper basket step by step
How to make an Easter basket from paper? To make it you will need:
- sharp scissors;
- a ruler and an eccentric;
- a pencil;
- double-sided tape or hot glue;
- several sheets of colored bristol in A4 size;
- your choice: small decorations, festive paper napkins, ribbons.
Start the process of making a basket by preparing a square of A4 sheet of paper. Then divide the paper into nine equal squares, marking the lines with a pencil. Cut four lines - those that go up and down from the central square. Cut out a strip of paper, decorate it in any way you like (e.g. with ribbon) and glue it with double-sided tape or hot glue to the squares you cut earlier. Also glue the two side squares to the same squares, arranging them at an angle to the axis determined by the handle of the basket. Done - it's time to decorate the completed work of art in any way you like, using paper flowers, buttons or stamps.
Easter basket from paper - how to make it in a different way?
There are more ideas on how to make an Easter basket from paper. Below we'll give you two of the most interesting inspirations to test this year.
Easter plaid
This is a suggestion that will literally take you a few minutes to make. Cut 8 strips of the same length and width from a sheet of colored paper. Roll one of them in such a way as to form a circle and glue its ends together. Glue the remaining strips in such a way as to form a semicircular bottom of the basket. Tape a paper handle to the whole and decorate your masterpiece.
Hare basket
This inspiration is sure to catch the eye of young children. First cut out the elements: an appropriately cut rectangle, which you will fold into a cuboid, a handle in the form of a strip, a hare's head with long ears, a tail and paws. Glue the bottom of the basket, glue the handle, hare's head, tail and paws. Add eyes, nose and mustache with a black marker. Glue a ball of cotton wool to the tail and fill the basket with Easter eggs.
Two-color basket
To create an Easter basket you can use paper runners or sheets of bristol in two different colors. With the help of a compass, sketch two circles on them - one of them will be the base of the basket, and the other will determine its height. Then sketch 12 lines passing through the center at equal intervals from each other, give them equal thickness and cut them into the form of a sunflower. Now, from paper of a contrasting color, cut strips of similar width and of such length that, when glued together, they form a circle of similar or larger diameter than the bottom of the basket. Interweave them alternately between the strips of the base, wrap and glue on the inside the remnants of the protruding strips and tighten the handle.
How about... a ready-made basket made of ecological paper?
Or, instead of creating the decoration yourself, how about choosing a ready-made, environmentally friendly variant? You'll find the perfect proposal at , a wholesaler of disposable packaging SlowPack - these are Easter baskets made of biodegradable paper. Decorated with beautiful spring patterns, they will grace an elegantly arranged table and are sure to please all guests at the Easter breakfast. Most importantly, after the holidays such a decoration will decompose in the backyard composter - to the benefit of the planet!
