Free Easy Paper Basket Template – DIY Gift Packaging

These free easy paper basket template is quick to make and is ideal for making DIY gift packaging and Easter baskets.  Make this simple basket out of a single sheet of paper.

Make this paper basket out of colored or scrapbooking paper for a quick finish, or print it onto white paper and decorate with pens and markers.

How to Make the Paper Basket

This is so easy to do! You will need:

  • Paper
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive
  • Decorations

Download the free paper basket template below and cut it out. Either print the template onto colored paper or print the template onto scrap paper and then transfer it to decorative paper.

Fold along the dotted lines. Use a bone folder or fold along the edge of a ruler to ensure crisp folds.

To assemble the basket, fold the edges towards the center until they overlap slightly as you will see below. You can make them overlap completely to make the basket HERE.

Attach the handle and add any decorations you require.

And the basket is finished! It’s as simple as that. Use this free paper basket template to make DIY Easter baskets, to make favor boxes for weddings and parties or simply as cute gift bags.

Tips on Using These Letters as Stencils for Painting on Your Walls

  1. Print on thick paper or cardstock: Use a sturdy paper or cardstock for printing the letters. Thicker materials will be easier to handle and will last longer as stencils.
  2. Protect your work surface: Lay down a protective covering or old newspapers to catch any paint spills and prevent your work surface from getting stained.
  3. Cutting tools: Use sharp craft knives or good quality scissors to cut out the letters. Precision is essential for clean lines in your stencils.
  4. Use painter’s tape: If you want to use multiple letters in a word or phrase, secure them together using painter’s tape before cutting. This will ensure the spacing between the letters remains consistent.
  5. Use spraymount to secure the templates. A sprayable, non-permanent adhesive is a great way to hoñd your templates in position while you paint.
  6. Practice proper technique: When cutting with a knife, apply steady and gentle pressure. Always cut away from your body to avoid accidents.
  7. Inner details and islands: Some letters (e.g., ‘O,’ ‘A,’ ‘P’) have inner details and islands that must be preserved in the stencil. Carefully cut around these elements, so they remain intact.
  8. Consider bridges: For letters with enclosed areas (e.g., ‘A,’ ‘B,’ ‘P’), you may need to add small bridges to keep the stencil connected while leaving the inner area open for painting. If you’re using a spray adhesive, you could remove the bridges after positioning the letters so they don’t affect your painting.
  9. Test before use: Before applying the stencil to your final project, test it on a scrap paper or surface to check for any design flaws or bleeding.
  10. Experiment with colors and techniques: Stencils offer a lot of possibilities for creativity. Play with different paint colors, blending techniques, and layering to achieve unique effects.
  11. Partial stenciling: Don’t feel limited to using the entire stencil at once. You can use parts of the letters or combine multiple stencils to create more complex designs.
  12. Fixing mistakes: If you make a mistake while painting, you can try to touch it up with a small brush or, if it’s extensive, start over by repaintying the base surface.
