Steps:Paint your watercolor paper in rainbow colors or any way you wish. Let dry before making your basket.
Cut a 1” strip off one end of your sheet (this will be the handle of the basket later).

Fold both ends of your paper in towards the middle. You now have 3 sections.

Fold the top half and bottom half of your paper towards the middle. Your paper should now have 9 square sections from your creased folds.

With the middle section, fold down each side to make a triangle. Cut this triangle out.

Fold the strips and middle triangles towards the middle and give them a good crease.

Fold all your side strips towards each other and bring the middle triangle up to meet them. Staple together.
