Other materials required are :-
A paper mache basket (or you can made your own,
with a small square box and some strong chipboard strip for the handle)

2. Cut 6 of Art Deco border diecut with 
Sew Jo paper pad, adhere these
around the bottom on basket and
on top of the basket handle.





Placing Moonlight Couture Creations Pearls  along
the centre of the Art Deco border diecut , as shown.


3. Cut 4 strips of Sew Jo paper - 2.5 cm x 30 cm, 
scrunch them with your hands, fold them out gently, then
create little pleats with all the strips of paper.
Place Couture Creations doubled sided Tape on the back of 
pleated paper, this will hold them together.




4. Adhere the completed pleats with doubled sided tape
and glue on the White German scrap lace border, 
all on the bottom top edge of
each side of the basket.


5. TO CREATE THE FLOWERS

I will show you all how to create just ONE flower. 
Repeat this process for each individual flower.
Cut 4 assorted size diecuts from the Nesting dies Sunflower



Cut with scissors, little slits along each flower die cut, as shown.



Pierce the centre of each flower die cut, place brad in centre of flower.
Spritz your flat flower with a little clean water.

Gently scrunch each flower die cut towards the centre.



Dry your flower petals with heat gun.

Secure florist wire to the back of each flower with the brad tongs
and tape.

Cut 1 Lucky Tree  diecut with Green cardstock and
adhere with glue, to the back of the flower.


(HINT: Create different size flowers, this looks more appealing)

Place a florist foam inside the basket and
pierce your completed flowers into the foam, 
arranging them around the basket.
