Note: The labels are printed directly on the scrapbooking paper, but you could use adhesive letters instead.

Measure inside area of each frame; cut paper to size.

Step 2: Print and Adhere Labels

Print desired label on each piece of paper; using glue stick, adhere labels to frames.

Step 3: Attach the Frames

Glue a frame to front of each basket.

Step 4: Attach Wire

Cut two 14-inch pieces of wire for each basket. Slip wires through back of basket, near each side edge, and hold ends even. Twist ends together and bend into hanging loops. Larger or heavier baskets may require additional hanging loops for support.
