Easy paper box/basket and tutorial


My mother-in-law got one of these filled with Easter candy, and I had to copy the pattern it was so cute and easy. best out of sturdy cardstock, her's had embellishments added to the sides as well...
Tutorial: 15cm (6") squared piece of paper, crease each way into thirds - a crease at 5 cm (2") each way, so you end up with a grid of 9 squares. Two punches in each corner to thread ribbon through. At each corner crease diagonally upwards to meet all corners in the middle - is this making sense? Thread ribbon through holes and tie! If anyone wants a word doc template let me know. I couldn't get it to post...
