Después de los diseños de calabaza (que fueron mis favoritos) elaboré más canastas con forma de fantasmas, caramelos y "Frankensteins", y aunque el proceso es el mismo, aquí encontraras aditivos diferentes al diseño de la primera parte de esta pequeña secuela.
Así que hagamos una pequeña recapitulación, pero con más tips para un mejor y mas bonito resultado 💫 👌
After the pumpkin designs (which were my favorites) I elaborated more baskets with shape of ghosts, candies and "Frankensteins".
And although the process is the same, here you will find different additives to the design of the first part of this little sequel.
So let's do a little recap, but with more tips for a better and prettier result 💫 👌

« "How to make Multicolored Ghost Baskets" »
✦ Tip 1: The size of the design should be the minimum equivalent to the length and height of an adult's open hand ✦
👻 Como siempre, el primer paso es dibujar el diseño que queremos recrear, o ubicar un vector de nuestro agrado y dibujar un patron de papel; después, transferir la silueta del papel 2 veces a la cartulina de nuestra preferencia (recomiendo cartón de piñata o carton de reciclaje).
🍬 As always, the first step is to draw the design we want to recreate, or locate a vector of our liking and draw a paper pattern; then, transfer the paper silhouette 2 times to the cardboard of our preference (I recommend piñata cardboard or recycled cardboard).
✦ Tip 2: The size indicated above ensures a basket that will hold half a kilo or more of candy, but it is advisable to add extra glue at the bottom joints for safety ✦
👻 Luego, construiremos el cuerpo de la cesta con una tira de cartulina de entre 10 y 12 centímetros de ancho, del largo necesario para llegar justo por encima de los bracitos del fantasma; y aunque con pegamento escolar sera suficiente, recomiendo colocar 2 grapas en cada terminación de los lados de la cartulina.
🍬 Then, we will build the body of the basket with a strip of cardboard between 10 and 12 centimeters wide, long enough to reach just above the little arms of the ghost; and although school glue will be enough, I recommend placing 2 staples at each end of the sides of the cardboard.
✦ In this part you can choose if you want to leave the silhouette of the little arms on both sides, or choose to remove the one that corresponds to the "back" of the ghost. Below you will see an example of what the result of both options looks like ✦
👻 Siempre recomiendo permitir que las piezas descansen en este punto porque el pegamento escolar contiene mucha agua y es importante esperar a que evapore, o al menos fragüe.
🍬 I always recommend allowing the pieces to rest at this point because school glue contains a lot of water and it is important to wait for it to evaporate, or at least set.
✦ The details of the front of the basket are made with the cutouts of all the details of the original pattern design, replicated on cardboard and lined with crepe paper or silk paper. It is better lined with paper than painted with paints ✦
👻 Para este bonito resultado, en el post anterior puedes verlo más detalladamente paso a paso donde siempre lo primero es forrar la espalda de la canasta con papel crepe, luego el frente, y después cubrir los laterales con papelillo (de grueso no superior a 2 o 2.5 centímetros).
🍬 For this beautiful result, in the previous post you can see it in more detail step-by-step where the first thing is always to line the back of the basket with crepe paper, then the front, and then cover the sides with paper towels (no thicker than 2 or 2.5 centimeters).
✦ The handle you see in the pictures is made with a strip of cardboard 25 to 30 centimeters long x 3 centimeters wide. On the outside we will line it with a strip of green cardboard, or the color of your choice, and since it is the same type of cardboard with which we made the basket, leave the part of the cardboard that is smooth on the inside ✦
👻 En el caso de estas cestas quise hacerlas ver más festivas con unos pompones de papel de pétalos puntiagudos y de diferentes colores: Estos se elaboran cortando cuadrados de papel de distintos colores, de 8 x 8 centímetros, sujetas su centro, y arrugar todos sus lados hacia la dirección opuesta, luego las pegas en un circulo de carton pequeño, y cuando todo este seco correctamente, pegas en los laterales de los fantasmas.
🍬 In the case of these baskets, I wanted to make them look more festive with some paper pompoms with pointed petals and different colors: These are made by cutting squares of paper of different colors, 8 x 8 centimeters, hold their center, and crumple all their sides in the opposite direction, then glue them on a small cardboard circle, and when everything is dry properly, glue on the sides of the ghosts.
✦ The green of the slime also looks great if the ghost were yellow, lilac, or a more intense green ✦
👻 Otras combinaciones de colores quedan muy bien, aquí quise hacer un contraste entre el cuerpo del fantasma y "el limo" que chorrea de su cabeza. Quise intentar algo diferente a la sangre, para no asustar a los niños pequeños que quisieran un fantasmita menos sangriento.
🍬 Other color combinations look great, here I wanted to make a contrast between the ghost's body and the "slime" dripping from his head. I wanted to try something other than blood, so as not to scare little children who might want a less gory ghost.
✦ Next time I want to try more saturated color ghosts, although the kids' favorites were the classic white ghosts ✦
👻 ¡Una combinación más atrevida de colores saturados también queda espectacular!. Para ésta un borde amarillo solido es bastante acorde, incluso puedes omitir los pompones si no te gustan.
🍬 A bolder combination of saturated colors also looks spectacular! For this one a solid yellow border is quite fitting, you can even omit the pom-poms if you don't like them.

👻 Como se aprecia en los gif, estas cestas son de dimensiones engañosas. ¿Por qué?, porque aunque su "cara sea pequeña", el ancho de 10 a 12 centímetros le da bastante profundidad y capacidad para cargar suficientes dulces. Aunque a gusto de cada quien las medidas pueden ser duplicadas sin problema.
🍬 As you can see in the gifs, these baskets are deceptively small. Why? Because although its "face is small", the width of 10 to 12 centimeters gives it enough depth and capacity to carry enough candy. Although the measurements can be duplicated without any problem, to suit everyone's taste.
✦ At this point I wanted to keep one for myself hahaha, they are so much prettier in person! At this stage I was waiting for them to dry properly all their parts ✦
👻 Y si eres detallista, notarás que éstas cestas a diferencia de sus hermanas mayores (las cestas de calabaza) sí cuentan con una cobertura interna. Yo utilice un papel reciclado de sobres de archivo nuevos que estaban en desuso. Realmente es un detalle que eleva la pieza y la hace ver mas limpia y agradable.
🍬 And if you're a stickler for detail, you'll notice that these baskets unlike their big sisters (the pumpkin baskets) do have an inner liner. I used recycled paper from new, unused archival envelopes. It really is a detail that elevates the piece and makes it look cleaner and nicer.
✦ A sneak peek of the following designs that you will see in the next 2 publications! ✦
¿Qué opinas?, creo que este es uno de mis proyectos favoritos de 2023, estuve esperando a que llegara Octubre con mucha ilusión para comenzar a fabricar estas cestas, y definitivamente las repetiré el siguiente año, pero por supuesto, en diseños diferentes.
What do you think? I think this is one of my favorite projects of 2023, I've been looking forward to October to start making these baskets, and I will definitely repeat them next year, but of course, in different designs.
