1. Cut design pieces. ( I used double sided card stock and glitter card stock of the eyes) 
2. Glue the fury bottom piece to the coordinating shape on the lower section of the basket base. Glue the other fury chest/head piece to the coordinating shape on the upper section of the basket base. I used a marker to color the outside edges of both large yellow eyes.
3. Glue the yellow eyes to the coordinating shape on the combined basket. Glue the smaller solid paws and feet to the larger solid feet and paws.
4. Attach the cat head ( black with cut outs) to the combined basket using foam adhesive squares.
5. Use a small piece of foam adhesive square to attach the nose. ( Hint- I use a black sharpie to color the edges of the white foam adhesive square so it’s not so noticeable:) Use foam adhesive squares to attach the front paws to the top section of the basket and the back feet and tail to the bottom section.
6. Flip the combined basket over. Fold the basket base at the score lines.
7. Apply glue to the top two tabs on the basket base and secure to the rounded shape above.
8. Apply glue to the bottom two tabs on the basket base and secure to the head shape above creating a box.
9. Insert the handle on either side of the basket.
10. Use three small lengths of thread and apply hot glue to one of the groups of ends. Attach underneath the nose. Repeat for the other side:)
11. I used enamel dots to accentuate the eyes and added a ribbon:)
