Optional - Ink pad to ink the edges of your flower petals ,Stamps ,Embossing powders to jazz up your paper even more
If you missed the
Easy flower making tutorial do read it first to get familiar with the basic steps of how to use the flower punch board .
Punch and fold a 5 inch [S ] and 3 inch [XXS ]flower. The shimmer on the flowers is because I stamped and embossed the paper strips before making them into flowers
Make a 7 petal flower from the folded strip you made for the 5 inch flower .Gently roll down the flower petals using the shaping tool included in the Flower punch board.Even though the flower can actually stand upright like a basket you can make it sturdier by simply adding a cylindrical base to your flower basket .
To make a base : Fold a 7 x 1 1/4 inch paper strip in half lengthwise[ you don't have to exactly follow this measurement!]. Glue the ends of this strip to get a paper ring.
Glue this paper ring base on to the under-surface of the flower.You need to be quite generous with the glue in this step and be patient to let the glue dry while holding the parts!
Make a 7 petal 3 inch diameter flower following the
Flower punch board tutorial and stick it inside your larger flower. If there is still a gap in the center just add a punched circle to the center.
Make a handle using matching card stock - again no hard and fast rules about the measurement [I used
11 x 1 inch strip] and taper the ends as shown in the pictorial above to allow easy gluing into the basket.
I inserted the tapered ends of the handle under my smaller flower [ better to glue on the handle before you glue on the smaller flower!]
The picture above shows the Flower basket on its stand. I couldn't resist adding a Resin flower on the handle of my flower basket!
Adding the resin flower tended to make my basket topple over [Oops!!!]
So salvaged the project by adding a bouquet of flowers to the basket!

| Foam flowers Mulberry Flowers |
Poked foam flowers [ these are store bought ones but here is the
handmade foam rose tutorial link], mulberry flowers and pollens [ these are normal pollens dressed up with floral tape] into play-dough [ instead of floral sponge!!] and added them inside the flower basket.
Using the same tutorial steps you can make baskets
as large as 12 inches in diameter using the flower punch board!
I hope you enjoyed the easy basket tutorial ....do tell me how it is.
