Cut Tape Strips

Cut a 9-inch square sheet of duct tape. Lay down five strips of tape upside down, slightly overlapping. Next, lay down five strips perpendicular on the top — sticky side to sticky side.

Cut Basket Template

Print out the basket template, and lay it on top of the square sheet of tape (image 1). Cut out the basket template shape (image 2).
