Step 1:

This is the outline we will be making. Mine has been resized a lot so you can see it clearly.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.


Open a new image 100 x 100 transparent.
Select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size = 1
Hardness, Opacity and Density = 100
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000%
Set your foreground to colour 1 on the outline colour chart (#806C59) and start at whichever point you prefer. I started at the bottom of the basket. (You can move the image later using your move tool if you need to).
When you get to the bow change to colour 4 (#B87C95) on your colour chart (or a colour of your choice).

Step 2

When your outline is complete, change your foreground to colour 2 (#B8936C) on the colour chart and colour in the handles and basket edging so it looks like the image below.


Select your magic wand and click inside the front part of the basket.
Select colour 3 (#CCAE8F) on your colour chart and flood fill that selection.
Keep selected.
Selections float, Effects 3D effects, Cutout with the following settings
Vertical = -2
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 55
Blur = 6
Shadow colour = Use your basket outline.(#806C59)
Make sure fill interior with colour is UNchecked.
Deselect.

Step 3

Select your magic wand and click inside the inner part of the basket.
Select colour 3 (#CCAE8F) on your colour chart and flood fill that selection.
Keep selected.
Selections float, Effects 3D effects, Cutout with the following settings
Vertical = -2
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 65
Blur = 6
Shadow colour = Use your basket outline.(#806C59)
Make sure fill interior with colour is UNchecked.
Deselect.

Step 4

Select your magic wand and click inside the top left section of the bow.
Select colour 5 (#E6D0DA) on your colour chart (or a colour of your choice) and flood fill that selection.
Keep selected.
Selections float, Effects 3D effects, Cutout with the following settings
V + H = 0
Opacity = 100
Blur = 4
Shadow colour = Use your bow outline (#B87C95), or a colour of your choice. Make sure fill interior with colour is UNchecked.
Deselect.

Repeat for the top right section of the bow.

Step 5

Select your magic wand and click inside the bottom left section of the bow.
Select colour 5 (#E6D0DA) on your colour chart (or a colour of your choice) and flood fill that selection.
Keep selected.
Selections float, Effects 3D effects, Cutout with the following settings
Vertical = -1
Horizontal = -1
Opacity = 100
Blur = 4
Shadow colour = Use your bow outline (#B87C95), or a colour of your choice. Make sure fill interior with colour is UNchecked.
Deselect.

Repeat for the bottom right section of the bow but change the Vertical and Horizontal to 1.
