Step 1: Create the Basket
Print and cut out the basket template from colored cardstock.
Take two circles, fold them in half, and glue them together along the edges to form a pocket-like shape.

Step 2: Make the Tulip Flowers
Using the provided template, cut out the tulip leaves and stems from green paper.
Cut out three petal shapes for each tulip from colored paper (pink, red, yellow, or any color you like).
Fold two of the petals in half and glue them to the third petal to create a 3D tulip bud.

Glue the leaves and stems to the inside of the basket.
Attach the tulip buds on top of the stems.
Arrange the flowers so they look full and vibrant.
