3. Cut 4 baskets with Easter Basket dies and cut off handles.
4. Use die to cut Crumb Cake strips for weaving on two of the basket fronts. Tip: weave 2 strips together from right, under – over – under etc. Push bottom strip to the bottom of the basket, and the other to the top of the basket. Then weave the 3rd piece in the middle over-under-over etc till you reach end. Adhere ends to basket front.
