I used a 3-oz. plastic Solo cup and cut it at 2-inches high. The outside liner is cut at 2-1/4-inches so that it extends 1/4-inch above the cup. The handle is made from a Martha Stewart embossing zigzag border punch and is topped with a punched flower and leaves and a sweet little pearl.
Although petite, each basket is large enough to hold a combination of 42 large and medium sized buttons.
So simple and yet so sweet!
Aloha!

Hi from Italy
Annamaria
I, too am a button lover! Your basket ideas is so clever, thinking I could use the idea for a small food snack tray favor! Could you please share the width of the wrap strip ... was it 11 inches like your other adorable project? TY ~ CM2
So beautifull.... Lovely present to give....
How neat is that!!!!! I love all the things you do. Thanks for sharing your talents with us all.
Take care.
CM2, yes, the length is 11-inches,the same measurement as the cupcake since I used the same 3-oz. cup. The only difference between the cupcake liner and the outside of the basket is that the width is 2-1/4-inches instead of 1-1/2-inches. I thought that I'd use as much of the cup as possible to allow for more room in the basket. HTH Thanks for visiting!

I Love this little favour, can I ask when you say a solo cup is that just a plastic cup. You do have some wonderful ideas.
Love Jillx
I'd be squealing, too!
One cannot have too many buttons!
