We made these little baskets at club this week. They are created from a 1-1/2" section cut from a paper towel roll - a toilet paper roll works, too! These are covered and embellished with card stock, DSP, punches, brads, ribbon.....the possibilities are endless.
The top basket is made with Bermuda Bay and Whisper White card stock. We know you can't see it very well, but the inside of the baskets are covered with card stock. The bottom basket is made with Melon Mambo card stock and both baskets use the DSP, Welcome Neighbor, from the Sale-a-bration supplement. The baskets are adhered to a Scallop Circle. This gives the bottom a finished scalloped edge as well as sealing the basket to hold your goodies.
Here are two more close-up pictures of the individual baskets.
The Bermuda Bay basket is embellished with the Trio Flower punch around the edge. The handle is punched with the Scallop Edge punch. The edge on the Melon Mambo basket is trimmed with the Eyelet Border punch and embellished with the Melon Mambo ribbon and a button from the designer buttons, Sherbet.
These baskets are small enough to use as a place card setting at the Easter table, a bridal luncheon or how about May baskets.
Our goal is to create a different style of basket on our blog every week until Easter. Keep watching to see what we do and if we make that goal!
How cute is this idea?!?!? Yes, they would be perfect for Easter placecards.
