Wow, thank you for the kindness, everyone! I added two more photos, a side view and a flat view, based on the comments!

Loving these. Streamlined, not fuzzy, modern, yet still cozy (felt fuzz!) and cute. I would happily use these in my house!

Right? “Modern but cozy” is a perfect description for them- they would check boxes for a wide audience. They have a crispness about them but aren’t cold and impersonal. They would look great in interiors from minimalist to cottageore.
Great project!

I love them plain and simple, but I also think they can be embellished in a lot of ways! Thanks for sharing the pattern…they all turned out nicely and will make unusual gifts that are useful!

I think the felt she is using is 3mm…it is way thicker than the stuff I have and sent to you…that type of felt is used for badges and embroidery…I don’t think you would get a good result, but it might be good for a practice run!

I think thinner felt laminated to another layer with fusible webbing could be thick/stiff enough. Extra bonus for patterned fabric is the exterior or interior. Or for smaller baskets, lighter could be ok.
And any sort of cord would do, elastic looped to a button even.

Obviously I have much to learn about felt!
I didn’t even know it came in diff thicknesses!
