    \r\n
  1. Cut 4 squares of thin card (11.5cm x 11.5cm) as templates. For each square, glue 7 craft sticks to form a frame: 4 vertical sticks evenly spaced, 2 horizontal sticks near the bottom, and 1 horizontal stick across the middle. Let dry.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Cut 3 felt strips (1cm wide, full length) for each side, using one or multiple colors.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Start weaving each side by folding the end of a felt strip around a vertical stick (use double-sided tape to secure). Weave over and under the vertical sticks until the lower half is filled, then attach two felt strips for the upper half, finishing about 1cm below the top. Secure ends with tape.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Repeat weaving for all 4 basket sides.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Tie the frames together with twine on both top and bottom corners to form a square basket.<\/li>\r\n
  6. Make a handle by layering a thinner felt strip onto a wider one with double-sided tape. Attach the handle ends inside the basket with tape.<\/li>\r\n
  7. Line the basket with two felt strips (28cm x 10cm) stuck inside along the sides and base, hiding the handle ends.<\/li>\r\n
  8. Tie extra twine around the basket corners to keep the lining and structure secure.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
