| Materials Needed: 2
pieces of different colored shiny paper and glue.
Cut a rectangle 2 1/4 inches by 8 inches out of each piece of paper. Fold the rectangles
in half. Hold each one so that the open edges are at the top. Round off the corners. Cut
two slits up from the folded edge, making them 3/4 inch apart and 2 3/4 inches long. Start
weaving one part into the other as shown. Tuck 1 between the layers of C, tuck B between
the layers of 1, and 1 between the layers of A. Slide the woven part up a little and now
tuck C between 2, 2 between B, and A between 2. Finally, tuck 3 inside C. B inside 3, and
3 inside A. You should be able to see a pattern on the inside as well as on the front and
back when you open your basket. Glue a handle between the two woven layers on each side of
the heart. Fill your basket with nuts, candies or other treats and hang it on your tree or
give it as a gift.
