Punch and accordion fold a 5 inch flower [
S ]flower and 3 inch [
XXS ]flower. The shimmer on the flowers is because I stamped and embossed the paper strips before making them into flowers

Make a 7 petal flower from the 5 inch flower folded strip and curve out the edges using the shaping tool included in the Flower punch board

| Flower Basket tutorial |
The flower can stand upright like a basket but to make it sturdier you can add a cylindrical base for your flower basket .Fold a 7 x 1 1/4 inch paper strip in half lengthwise[ you don't have to exactly follow this measurement-- I liked the shape this set of measurements gave!]. Glue the ends of this strip to get a paper ring.

Glue this paper ring base on to the under-surface of the flower.You need to be quite generous with the glue in this step and be patient to let the glue dry while holding the parts!

Make a 7 petal 3 inch diameter flower following the
Flower punch board tutorial and stick it inside your larger flower. If there is still a gap in the center add a punched circle to the center.

Make a handle using matching card stock - again no hard and fast rules about the measurement [I used
11 x 1 inchstrip] and taper the ends as shown in the pictorial above to allow easy gluing into the basket.

I inserted the tapered ends of the handle under my smaller flower [ better to glue on the handle before you glue on the smaller flower!]

The picture above shows the Flower basket on its stand. I couldn't resist adding a Resin flower on the handle of my flower basket!

| Resin Flower |
Adding the resin flower tended to make my basket topple over [Oops!!!]
So salvaged the project by adding a bouquet of flowers to the basket!

| Foam flowers Mulberry Flowers |
Poked foam flowers [ these are store bought ones but here is the
handmade foam rose tutorial link], mulberry flowers and pollens [ these are normal pollens dressed up with floral tape] into play-dough [ instead of floral sponge!!] and added them inside the flower basket.
