Cut the side piece of canvas larger than the pattern, and carefully bend the top edge over 1/8 to ¼ inch, following along a line of the canvas (or the grain of your fabric.) Glue this top fold to the inside of the basket side.
When the glue is dry, fold over one end of the fabric, dampen the piece, and wrap the side around your basket form so that the folded piece is in the center back of the basket.. You can hold it in place with an elastic band. Leave to dry
When the side is dry, remove it from the form, and glue the folded end over the other end to form the completed basket side.
When the piece has dried and is glued into an oblong shape, turn up the bottom end of the side by about ¼ inch, towards the inside.Use scraps of leather trim, ribbon, or cord to make handles in the centre of the ends of your basket. Glue these in place and leave to dry.
