List of Supplies:
- Free rolled flowers and leave template
- Colored craft or construction papers
- Craft glue
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Cardstock
Instructions:
Prepare the Flower Basket Template Patterns
1. Download and print out the flower basket template. The template includes the rolled paper roses and leaves. Cut out all the pieces.
2. Trace the template patterns on colored craft or construction paper. You can use whatever color you would like. We decided to go with red for the roses and green for the leaves. Cut out the traced patterns.
For the weave basket, you can decide what pattern you would like to make. Cut thin strips out of brown paper and a base for the basket out of white paper.
Note: I provided an extra page of rolled flower patterns. We ended up creating 5 roses for this flower basket craft, but you can make more or less depending on the size of your basket and card.
Make the Rolled Paper Roses
3. Start rolling the spiral rose pattern from its outer edge.
4. Continue to roll the paper toward the center of the spiral. Loosen up your hold on the coil and let the pattern unfurl slightly in your hands. Squeeze glue on the bottom circle and press it against the bottom edges of the rose petals to set it. Allow the glue to dry completely.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the rest of the roses. We made 5 rolled roses total.
6. Fold the leaves along the middle to create a slight crease to give them a more 3D look.
Make the Weave Basket
7. Glue the brown strips on the white basket pattern vertically. All strips should be parallel to each other with small gaps in between the strips.
8. Glue more strips to the basket, this time horizontally. They should be perpendicular to the vertical strips you glued on the basket in the previous step. Similarly, you want them to be parallel with small gaps in between the strips.
9. Trim the strips along the edge of the white basket pattern.
Assembling the Flower Basket Card
10. Glue the paper basket on a piece of folded cardstock (the base of your card).
11. Glue the rolled roses on the card.
12. Glue the paper leaves on the card, tucking them behind the roses.
