4. Adding the Basket Handle

A handle not only makes the basket functional but also adds to its adorable aesthetic. There are several ways to create one.

🎀 1. The Simple Paper Handle

Cut a long, sturdy strip of cardboard or a folded piece of construction paper. Staple or tape each end to the inside rim of the basket on opposite sides. For extra strength, reinforce the attachment points with extra tape on the inside.

🎀 2. The Ribbon or Pipe Cleaner Handle

For a more decorative look, use a thick ribbon, a bunch of curling ribbon, or colorful pipe cleaners. Twist pipe cleaners together for a stronger handle. Thread the ends through the weave near the rim and twist them securely on the inside, or attach them with strong tape.

🎀 3. The Braided Handle

Create a beautiful, sturdy handle by braiding three long strips of construction paper or ribbon together. Secure the braid's ends with glue before attaching it to the basket. This adds a wonderful textured element to the finished piece.
