Directions:

Using one piece of paper cut horizontal straight lines about one inch in from

should be covered from top to bottom with these slits. Next take the other

color of paper and cut 1/2 strips. Weave these strips in and out of the slits in

the first paper. When completed with all the strips glue the ends of the strips

to the first paper to hold in place. Next fold up the sides to make a basket

your basket and staple or glue. Basket can then be filled with shredded paper

to make a nest in the bottom.
