Make it Hybrid Monday - Heart Favor Baskets

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to another edition of Make it Hybrid Monday. My name is Laina and I have recently joined the Trixie Scraps hybrid team! I will be working with Sharon and I am so excited to be here, and today I’m here to show you how to make these adorable heart baskets. They are a perfect addition to your Valentine’s décor, or they can be used as treat baskets for the kids or even for your Valentine!

I decided to use Owl Always Love You. I think it’s just the perfect kit for Valentine’s Day!

To complete this project, you will need:
1- 8×8 inch square of Patterned cardstock
2 – 6×6 inch square of Solid cardstock
A bone folder (or scoring tool on your paper cutter)
Scissors (or paper cutter)
Tape
Valentine’s Sweethearts candies

First, In PSE I created the square shapes on a 8.5×11 transparent document, clipped the papers to them and then printed and cut them out.

Then using your bone folder or scoring tool, you will need to score 4 lines on the white side: diagonal line x 2, a horizontal line and a vertical line.

Next, you are going to fold the square horizontally, while pinching at the top. Then tuck the left and right side and you’ll end up with a large triangle with the two smaller ones tucked inside that meet in the middle.

Fold the large triangle in half down the middle. Next, lightly draw a half heart with a pencil, follow the line and cut it out.

Once you cut it out, you can then open it again to see the full heart!

You will need to tape the inside pieces where they meet so it can hold its shape and be able to hold your Valentine’s candies. You can do this by opening it completely and placing half of the piece of tape on the left side of the heart. Then when you fold it back into its heart shape, you can press the tape firmly down on the right side.
