Klipp til etter malen/Cut as the template says:

Lim panelene av mønsterpapir til kartongdelene/Glue the pieces of designer paper on the parts of cardstock.
Lim alle delene sammen, slik at de danner en sekskantet kurv/Glue the parts together so they become a hexagon shaped basket.


Bunn/Bottom:
Konstruer en sekskant I kartong slik: Tegn en sirkel med radius på 4 cm. Sett passerspissen i et punkt på sirkelbuen – med samme radius, og merk av et nytt punkt på sirkelbuen. Sett passerspissen i det nye punktet, og merk av et punkt til. Fortsett til du har seks punkter. Trekk rette linjer fra punkt til punkt, og klipp ut sekskanten.
Lim denne sekskanten til bunnen, på insiden av kurven.
Construate a hexagon like this: Draw a circle with a radius of 4 cm. Mark a point on the circle, then a new point 4 cm from the first, a new one 4 cm from the second…and so on, until you have 6 points on the circle. Draw straight lines from point to point, until you have a hexagon. Cut out the hexagon, and glue it to the bottom of the baskets inside.

Stans ut en Spellbinders form etter ønske, og lim denne på undersiden av kurven, som bunnplate.
