How to make a paper basket

Need a last minute basket for Easter? I was looking at this bright, beautiful cardstock paper I had sitting on my desk when it dawned on me. It would be REALLY EASY to turn this paper into a cute little basket. Perfect for little ones, helpful on the budget, and certainly much better for the environment then using a plastic basket!  The best part? They take about 1 minute to make…and I am not kidding at all. Seriously folks, these baskets are suuuuuuuper easy to make. All you is 12″ cardstock paper, and a stapler.

How to make a paper basket.


The easiest paper basket tutorial you will ever see!!! Takes less than 1 minute to make.

  2. Cut where marked.

Fill with goodies and watch their faces light up with joy.

I made these baskets for my kids for a surprise picnic, filling them with each of their favorite snacks. Its amazing how packaging can turn plain old potato chips and fruit slices into the most special gift ever. Great craft idea for a lazy summer afternoon!

Fill with goodies and watch their faces light up with joy. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…

Happy sewing!

All you need is a paper clip to turn your mask into a bracelet, when you don’t need to use it but are still out and about. I wrote a blog post to show how easy it is. And even came up with another idea that is, dare I say it, even EASIER than this 🤪👊🏻. Link in bio - and thank you!
