Scallop Square Basket Directions


 I borrowed this idea from Meg Loven and fell in love with how fast and easy it was.  The little sucker inside can be substituted for one of those wellness pops that are on the market now.  Little cough drops would be great in the basket as well.

Sunday or Monday I will be posting tips on how to wheel the design on the basket.  Keep watching!

Stamp Sets:
A Reason to Smile ($5 this month with a $50 purchase)
Delightful Dozen
Betsey's Blooms wheel

Colors:
Soft Suede
Pool Party

Supplies:
Handle for wheel
Big Shot and plates
Scallop Square clear die
White Grosgrain (retired)
Extra Large Oval punch
Decorative Label punch
Sucker
Hole punch
Comfort Cafe DSP

First cut out a scallop square with the Scallop Square die and the Big Shot.
Stamp the basket or use a wheel on it.  I used the Betsy's Blooms wheel on my basket; I just wheeled a design on two opposite sides.
Next score between the 3rd and 4th scallops on all four sides.

 Score diagonally in all four corners.  I love the Simply Scored for this part!

Punch holes in all four corners so that you can thread ribbon through the corners.
Burnish the score lines.
Thread the ribbon through the holes and add the goodies and label.  Voila!
