Start with two of the corners. Hold them in the same way as shown in the photo.

Cut off the end of the strip, approx. 1cm from the edge of the woven basket. Attach a Glue Spots onto the small flap, fold it over and secure it on the inside of the basket.

Cut off the end of the strips and secure as described in step 15.
