Hi! It's Barb from Crafty Girl, here to show you the darling little Halloween treat baskets I made for my daughter's upcoming Halloween party! These are quick and easy to make and are a project that you can complete with your child! I love those kind of projects!
Supplies:
Cardstock of various colors (I used DCWV)
A scoring board
Brads (optional)
Adhesive/Glue
Various embellishments
You will want to start with a square. The square is going to be divided into thirds. To make the math simple for me, I used 6 inch and 9 inch squares.
Using your scoring board, you are going to score lines dividing the square into thirds. If you started with a 6 inch square, you will score on the 2 inch and 4 inch lines. You then want to rotate your paper 90 degrees and repeat. You will have 9 equal squares when you finish. (If you started with a 9 inch square, score at the 3 inch and 6 mark.)
You will then want to cut on the folds on both sides. Do not cut into the middle section of your square. You can see in the photo exactly where I cut. Fold all the score lines to form your basket.
Once you fold up the basket, you need to secure the sides. There are several ways you can do this. I like to poke a hole in the side and use a brad to secure the layers together. I also used adhesive on a few (like the ghost) where I didn't want a brad showing.
Once the base of the basket is formed, you can embellish them anyway you like! This is the part of the project where you can easily include the kids!
Have fun making these fun treat baskets and Happy Halloween!
