How to Make Paper Food Baskets

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.

Line with wax paper. Add some good food and you're set.

* To make mini versions, just scale down the template. Smaller versions might be cute to go with some felt french fries.
