There are a lot of ways to decorate this basket, some of which were shown in the Paper Basket craft. For this basket, I want to show how to make a woven effect that's really easy to make. First, cut out paper into short strips. |

Glue the strips onto the basket in rows. Don't worry about going over the edges and you can decorate both sides of the basket if you like. |
 |

Cut out the excess length of paper strips along the basket's edges. |

Print out any of these flower templates or draw your own flowers. |

Cut them out. |
