Thanksgiving Gift idea

Treat Basket

The Cricut Chick has this project listed on her Facebook photo wall which you can see here. I loved the idea and thought it would be really fun to make for Thanksgiving; however, this would be a fun project for any holiday or celebration.

Step 1: Score a 12"x12" piece of cardstock at 4" and 8" on each side. Score the outside corners on the diagonal. Cut 3 3/4" square pieces of patter paper for each section and cut diagonally for each corner. Add embellishments on the 4 solid squares.

Step 2: Punch holes 1/2" from the corner and hammer in a grommet.

Step 3: Run elastic trough the grommets and fasten with a knot.
Step 4: Tie 12 - 7" ribbons around the elastic in the larger open spaces only.
Step 5: Fill with treats and give as a gift or set out for the family to enjoy.
