For years, I've enjoyed making a fun paper craft.
Until recently, I didn't know that the tradition of making woven paper baskets
came from Norway.
Close to Christmas, people in Norway cut and weave paper or
straw heart shaped baskets. They sometimes attach a handle and then fill the
basket with sweets. The hearts decorate their trees and homes. There's rumor
that Hans Christian Anderson may have started this tradition.
This is an entertaining craft to do with the whole
family.
If you'd like to try your hand at heart baskets,
follow these instructions.
