Now we are going to add the chain links for a handle.

Add new layer. Copy/paste single chain link. Rotate it

90 degrees. Copy/paste as new layer as you did before.

Keep adding them till you get to the height you want

for the handle. Copy/paste next one then rotate 45 degrees

to the right do this 2 times. Then copy/paste next one at

90 degrees. The 45 degrees makes a good curve. Keep going

till you get the width you want. The last 2 you will rotate

45 degrees to the left. Go all the way down to the top of the

basket. You should have a basket similar to this.

Now zoom in close as before and erase links where

they connect. Ok now all the hard stuff is done. I

promise the rest is the fun stuff. Turn off all layers

except the chains you just made. Then merge visible.

Now we are going to make our bow and ribbons.

Change background color to a shade darker than

your basket color. I used #E05CEC. Set background

to gradient/#1 foreground. Foreground color

is the same you used for basket color. I used #F2BF5.

Use draw tool set line width to 1, antialias checked, freehand.

Set to gradient as above. OR go here to learn how to

the Wire-Edged Ribbon it is really easy and fast. I just used the

line width set at 1 instead of 3. Add new layer, start at top

of handle draw wavy lines down the handle then back up to top.

See image below.

Now erase parts of ribbon as you did on the chain.

So it will look like the ribbons are weaving in and

out of the handle. Add new layer and do other side of handle.

Do 2 or 3 ribbon streamers for each side.

Add new layer for bow. Draw narrow lines like the ribbon

for the bow. Duplicate/mirror image. Add new layer for

each loop of the bow.

Add as many loops to bow as you like. I personally

like lots of loops. Now wasn't that easy. I do love

to make bows and ribbons. You can make some small

bows for the sides of the basket too.

Click on basket layer and move to top. Add new layer and move

it just below basket layer. Open PSP tubes and use Streamers

set at 50 or what ever size you like. This is going to be our

Easter grass. Now fill up your basket. Next go to color/colorize

I used settings, hue: 86 saturation: 101 for this.

Now all that is left is to fill your basket with eggs and

things. Use your imagination and do your own thing. LOL

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you need some eggs

for your basket you can make some here.
