[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Want to know Wednesday

[Debbie]

To make my basket I would use a brown paper bag and fold it down and get
some Raffia paper to weave all the way around it. then I would put to wooden
painted eggs on the long sides of the bag. That way it would have an egg on
each side and then on the short side or the  end of the bag I would put a
wooden painted bunny on each end. I would put some Easter colored ribbons
around the top. Inside I would put a little grass and some small and large
plastic eggs with some small treat inside the eggs. We did this at church
once during a ladies meeting. For the handle of the basket you use some of
the Raffia paper. They came out real cute.

To make my basket I'd get a small cardboard box. I'd cut the flaps off. I'd
get colored paper in (I think white and purple). I'd cut the paper in strips
about an inch wide. I'd glue the ends of one color of paper to the corner
edges of the box. Then with the other color of strips I'd try weaving them
in and out of the other strips. Hoping this would give a basket weave
looking pattern. From the flaps I would cut a couple of strips and cover
them with paper and glue or staple them to my basket for the handle. I'd
knit a couple of yellow flowers with green leaves to attach to the basket
where I joined the handles to my box. Then I would put a yellow bow on the
handle and call it good.

 

Did you know that Newark Ohio has been displaying  the largest picnic
basket, which is standing 7 stories tall and more then 200 feet wide
