The other night we were having corn fritters with dinner when I got this crafty idea. I was steering at the paper basket that the fritters came in and thought they would look good in other prints rather than the traditional red gingham. I was picturing, duck prints for baby showers, princess prints for birthday parties and so on. So later that night I deconstructed the basket and made a template. It was so easy to make that I had to share.Supplies:
Card stock
Scissors
Glue
Right click, copy, save, and print template on the back side of card stock.
Cut out template. It should look something like the picture above.
Flip over, fold in each flap and then unfold.
Fold corner in and glue. Do this for all four corners.
* To make mini versions, just scale down the template. Smaller versions might be cute to go with some felt french fries.

Fan-flipping-tastic! I think I'll try this with left over cereal boxes.
Love these! What an awesome idea. I'm seeing cuteness at my next party! :)
You mention you can scale down for small containers, yet it's very small here. What size should it be for the regular containers?

Love this idea. There are times when plates just aren't convenient. What a lovely alternative to old fashioned flat paper plates. Thanks for this great idea. I'll be linking on Facebook.
You are so amazingly creative. Where to link to this? Daily DIY? Camping? Family Reunion? 4th of July? All of them? YES! So many possibilities for this craft!
