They are not cheap starting at $5.00 a sheet. Find one that looks like it will transmit light well and look good. You could practice with news paper so you won't waste good $5.00 dollar paper. Then place basket on the paper and cut out the round bottom plus put basket on it's side and trace the basket as you roll the basket from left to right. YOU WANT TO CUT OUT AN EXTRA LARGE PATTERN OF THE BASKET. (2'' fatter) You will need the extra as you will trim and cut it down to size over and over till it fits just right. The last photo is what the cut outs from your paper should look like. [ Edited by: tikiskip 2011-06-04 12:55 ]
