A few years ago I use to work for a company where suppliers would bring in huge gift baskets full of goodies at Christmas time. These baskets were GORGEOUS! I just couldn't bring myself to throw them away so I started making christmas baskets. I have evolved into making them with battery-operated LED lights (thanks Sheri!!) and making them portable for parties or dinners elsewhere, where a plug-in may be tough to find.
Anyway, here are a couple I made this week. They take me about 2 1/2hrs ... just as long as a card!!
Basket without lights on
Basket with lights on and unfortunately super blurry. Sorry!! And now the basket is gone of course. LOL!
Basket #2
The pinecones I get from various yards and by the time I'm done, these cost me about $15 to make. They are great for gifts!!
