3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the other 17" strip of fabric but in the
center row of holes. This time start over one hole so the seams are
offset from the one below.
4) Leaving approximately a 4" tail of fabric on the outside of the
basket and starting in the center of one of the longer sides of the
basket, weave the 24" piece of fabric thru the top row of holes.
5) When you are done, you should have about another 4" piece of fabric
on the outside next to the 1st 4" tail.
6) Tie these two pieces in a knot. If you prefer to tie it in a
bow, just make the top strip longer.
7) To make the handle, twist the two pipe cleaners together and attach
each end to one short side of the basket by placing the end of the pipe
cleaner thru the center hole on the top of the basket and twisting to
keep it in place.
8) Finally, fill the basket with Easter grass or shredded tissue and
it's ready for goodies!
**When choosing the fabric strips, I like to use 3 complimentary fabrics
but you could use all the same if that's what you have. Also, I cut my
strips with pinking sheers to help keep them from fraying.
