Paper Plate Easter Basket

Easter baskets costing too much this year?? Make 'em cheap and easy and SUPER cute!
All you need is:
10.5 inch square paper plates
scissors
hole punch
coordinating ribbon



1. Using your hands fold down each side of the paper plate at the seam line (where it divots down)

2. Then proceed to cut out the corners formed from the folding (there really are 4 corners that you cut out but i lost one of the corners when i was taking pictures so just imagine there's one more there)
3. after this you punch a hole about 1/4 inch down from the edge top and 1/4 inch in from the cut side. (your plate should look like a plus sign you should be punching holes in the bars of the plus sign not the middle portion)

NO PICTURE BECAUSE IM A RETARD

4. now using your trusty hands, flip over your plus sign plate so that the design or "eating side" is facing down. take the bars of the plus sign and fold them to the middle. crease using your fingers.

dont look at the ribbon just admire the way it is folded right now

5. When all this is complete take your ribbon and poke it through your hole punches in the corners choosing your desired length, make a bow and cut the ribbon.


6. Now you have a wonderful little basket that can be filled with grass and cookies or easter eggs or even a gift!
Have fun and see ya next time!
