Bumpy Basket files for Cricut

If you want to make your own bumpy basket strips these svg files will be a useful starting point.

A-b training strips, these are about 2 feet long, useful for teaching the basics. These print 7-up on 12" x 24" cardstock.

A-k weavers, these are about 6 feet long, a practical length for beginners to work with. These print 4-up on 12" x 24" cardstock. Each weaver needs two splices using 3/4" Scotch tape 44mm in length, run the tape straight across, wrapping around the back of the strip.

These files were created in Inkscape, and Cricut Design Space does not allow sharing imported files, so you will have to follow this procedure to get the svg files imported into your Cricut Design Space:

I find the 65-lb cardstock commonly found in craft stores near other Cricut supplies cuts well at the Medium-weight Cardstock setting. Both gel pens and marker-type pens work well, but gel pens need occasional cleaning between prints, while Cricut-brand markers will smear if the cardstock ever gets wet. I use 12" x 24" standard grip Cricut Adhesive Cutting Mats, and you will find it very time efficient to have two. Contrary to folklore, do not need to anchor the corners of the cardstock with blue tape. What you need is the rolling pin in your kitchen drawer. Just lightly roll the the cardstock from every direction. Use more pressure if your mat is losing its grippiness.
