Bend wires to create a basket shape. I made mine almost a rounded triangle with a flat top
Connect the open ends at the top with florist tape. This area will be the handle of the basket
Space out the wires to create a flat base
Bind a small bundle of grass to the one side of the basket handle letting the tips dangle down the side
Bind another small bundle of grass facing the other way.
Bend the grass down to the side of the basket and secure with floral glue to the wire
Again, do the same on the other side
Fold the blades of grass over and secure it to the bottom of the basket, one strand at a time
Gather up the stem ends at the handle side of the basket
Wrap the stems with a blade of grass to create a neat handle
Glue in a few dangling blades of grass, some snowflake sparkling beads, and the orchids
Add a few crystals and make sure the basket is comfortable to carry
