DIY Papercut Easter Basket

You may have noticed that I have thing for paper. I love this deceptively simple material that can be cut, shaped, and molded into so many things. I’m also a little obsessed with my cutting machine, the Cricut Explore. It lets me do things I would never have the patience or precision to do by hand, including these fun and just-in-time Easter gift baskets. They’re great for party favors or handing out candy and decorated eggs.

If you have a cutting machine, or a very steady hand, try them out. There are two styles – the lattice and picket fence.

Enjoy!

DIY Papercut Easter Basket

Materials and Supplies

  • Cricut Explore or Silhouette or cutting mat and X-Acto knife
  • 2 sheets of 80lb. cover paper for the basket and handle (8 1/2″ x 11″ or larger)
  • 1 sheet of 80lb. text paper in green for the grass
  • 1 sheet of 80lb. text paper in white for the fence
  • Basket template (below)
  • Ruler
  • Scoring tool
  • Bone folder (optional)
  • Adhesive

Basket Template

The following shapes can be assembled to make two different basket styles.

  • Easter Basket Template (PDF, SVG)

DIY Steps

  1. Use your cutting machine or X-Acto knife to cut the basket template and handle. If cutting manually, the handle is 1/2″ x 10″.
  2. Cut out four fence shapes, either lattice or picket.
  3. Cut out four grass shapes.
  4. Using a ruler and scoring tool, create fold lines on the basket template as shown in the PDF. Fold and adhere to form the base.
  5. Adhere the ends of the handle to the interior of alternating sides of the basket base.
  6. Adhere the grass shapes to each side of the basket. Either along the top or bottom as shown in the pictures.
  7. Adhere the fence shapes to each side of the basket.
