Hanging-Basket Ornament

Print our template onto card stock and cut along solid lines. Score along dotted lines using a ruler and a bone folder. Fold in along innermost lines to form basket's sides; fold out along outer lines to create a rim.

Tools and Materials
Card stock
Scissors
Ruler
Bone folder
Craft glue
Paintbrush
Clear glitter
1/4-inch-wide ribbon
Mini paper fastener
Fabric glue (such as Magna-Tac 809)

Hanging-Basket Ornament How-To 
1. Overlap sides slightly and glue in place using craft glue and a paintbrush; hold until set.

2. Brush glue on outside of basket. Working over a bowl, spoon glitter over glue, covering completely. Let dry; repeat on inside of basket.

3. When basket is dry, lay it facedown and crisscross three 14-inch-long ribbons as shown. Attach ribbons and card stock at center with a mini paper fastener. With same kind of ribbon, make two 2 1/4-inch-long tuxedo bows (see below). Cut another 7-inch strip of ribbon; this will be used to hang the ornament.

4. Turn basket right side up and bring ribbon ends in so they meet at a point. Holding them at that point, cut off excess and dab fabric glue on cut ends to secure; hold until it sets. Glue one end of the hanging-ribbon strip to both sides of the cut ends, making a loop. Glue a tuxedo bow to either side; concealing ends of looped ribbon. Fill baskets with wrapped candies.

Tuxedo Bows How-To
Fold ends of a piece of ribbon in toward the center, overlapping them; secure with fabric glue. Flatten at center and glue to secure. Cover center with a second piece of ribbon, gluing at back of bow; for a cinched bow, wrap center more tightly. Adjust to desired shape.
