Picket Fence Basket Tutorial

Hello and welcome! If you're looking for the Picket Fence Basket tutorial,you're in the right spot! I knew there would most likely be a lot of questions on how to create this cute little basket, so I've put a step-by-step photo tutorial to help you! It is super easy to assemble and requires very little supplies or time!




Use a bone folder to fold at each score line to make crisp edges.

I forgot to mention that these little "tabs" already have a built in score line that is included in the detail of the die so there is no need to score along the tabs, but you do need to "crack" them by placing your fingernail on the right side and bending them forward, then bend them the opposite way to get a good fold. In the end, they will need to be pointing up.
If you want to use liquid glue instead of tape, that will work as well, just look down two more photos to see how to do that. **********EDITED******** I would HIGHLY recommend using liquid glue. After time, the ScorTape is coming apart! The bull clips will make assembling it with liquid glue easy, but strong. Keep the clips on until it’s completely  dry.


If you'd like to use liquid glue, the clips work well for that, too!


It is easy to fold the box up, just make sure the bottom pieces don't get tangled. Take your time to fold them neatly.

Once it is folded, it makes a perfect 3 1/2 inch square.

This is what I did for both the top and bottom square.



Once it is done, you can decorate it to your heart's content!

Hopefully it all makes sense! Happy crafting and thanks for fluttering by!
