Instructions:
Step 1:
Remove the top fold of the paper cup using a craft knife. Then using a pair of scissors, fix and cut some of the excesses on the top part to make it leveled. Next, cut the side connection and make 16 strips leaving a half-inch allowance at the bottom of each one.
Step 2:
Using a pen, slightly twist the top of each strip to open up the cup. The result will look like a flower.
Step 3:
Now get one strip and fold it outward, inserting the tip diagonally into the second strip to the left. Do the same process for all of the strips until you finish the whole basket.
Step 4:
Get the top fold you removed from the paper cup and flatten the ends using a pen. Once flatten, glue the ends to the sides of the basket to make the handle. You are done! You can paint them in any color you want or even add someembellishments to them like: glitters, gems, stickers, or ribbons. Match it with the theme of the occasion.
