After seeing
Rachel's cute Valentine's Day basket and her recent bridal shower basket, I went home, found my paper print-out of Pink Penguin's
tutorial and made a basket. Why did I wait so long to do so?? So cute and EASY! This is my "practice" basket which I'm giving to Punkie to do what she wants with. I made the handles too long - I don't care for them so on my next ones, I'm shortening them up. On my practice basket, I made 2.5 inch squares instead of the 2 inch squares in the tutorial. Made for a slightly bigger basket.
Cute, huh? And all the fabric came out of my stash so even better! I'm working on 4 baskets for Easter for the little girls in my family. I don't put a lot in the basket but I figure that a "made with Love" Easter basket won't get thrown in the trash a week after Easter and will be displayed and used.
I gave Amelia her basket when I was done with it. Look how she is planning on using it...
My clever girl!
Enjoy your day!

Cute basket, cute girl! What is it with baskets and buckets that children put them on their heads? Mine used to do that!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The bigger size is nice - I'm going to try that. I think your longer handles look good (and are probably more practical). Is that a binding around the top? Great idea! Yes, Amelia, it makes a great hat, too! ☺
ReplyDeleteOooh, so cute! The basket and the Punkie! The picture of Amelia with the basket on her head made me smile. She is sure gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat Amelia is indeed a clever girl! That's an adorable picture of her with her new hat LOL!
ReplyDeleteBoth are adorable, I really like the size of your basket. Great for many uses. Easter will soon be here!
ReplyDeleteThe basket is so cute...but sweet little Amelia, CUTE, CUTE CUTE!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe wears her basket well!
Pretty basket! It makes a lovely hat! :0)
ReplyDeleteI love the basket. Yes, that tutorial is on my tu-do list, too! Yours is great. That Amelia...what a cutie.
ReplyDeleteHey Miss Punkie lovin that hat!!! You know how I love me some hats.
ReplyDeleteGood job on the basket Jen. I've still got to make me some of those.
