I was preparing a nice dinner for my family last weekend and I needed a basket for my dinner rolls. I went looking and after pulling out all of my baskets and discovering that they were all in need of replacement I decided on my project this week. My thinking was, why buy a basket when I can make one and customize it to the occasion? The basket turned out to be quite sturdy so I could have easily put apples in it but I decided on rolls. I cannot take credit for the rolls, they came from my local baker. Hey, a girl has to have priorities, right??
Here is my basket:
I had a ton of fun putting this little beauty together and it took no time! Oh, by the way, the tiny pine cone, is made from the Cuties 2 die. I really wanted to add a pine cone so I simply used my quilling tool and just cascaded the strip to make it look like a pine cone. Not so bad in a pinch huh??
Here are the dies you will need for this project:
B117 - Fanciful Flourish
B146 - Pine Branches
B150 - Cuties 2 (for the Pine Cone)
B181 - Build a Flower # 1
B201 - Celtic Weave
B215 - Expandable Tiny Borders
B240 - Fall Pumpkins
DL121 - Sunflower
D135 - Dimensional Large Leaves #1
XL-13 - French Flair - Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies
