Insert rectangle. Set width to 400mm (this is double size of spiral shape). HINT: You can use corner radius to make handle pretty.  

You need to do kerf for bending this handle. Insert Line and place it inside top rectangle shape. Line must be about 40% long of rectangle height. Copy created line and paste it under created Line. Insert another Line and place it inside of top rectangle shape but with furter distance from first created lines (for example material thickness). This line must be about 20% long of rectangle height. Copy created short line a paste it under created line. Copy first 40% long line and paste it between short lines. If you want to save your time select all created lines and select Application → GRID ARRAY. With Grid array you want maximum X columns (10), No Y rows (1), No Y spacing (0) and X spacing must be same as you choose between lines. Select lines array and Copy → Paste. Lines array must be longer than spiral width! Select all lines array and Ungroup and GROUP again. Select grouped array lines and handle rectangle shape and ALIGN HORIZONTALLY. Insert Rectangle and place it at start of rectangle shape. Width is material thickness. Move this new rectangle shape to the right but count steps. Copy this rectangle and Paste it to the end of handle rectangle shape. Move it to the left but with the same steps as the first one. Select Both rectangles and handle rectangle and SUBTRACT.

For basket fill for an eggs I used green paper straps.

Be careful when you will bending the handle. If bending will not be easy, you can use hot tap water and bend it under hot water.
