Hello bloggy friends!!! Thanks for coming by today. I hope you like my little project as much as I do. So cute and guess what....Pinterest inspired, oh yeah. If you don't Pinterest, I implore you. Go do it. It's the best thing to hit the internet since, well, since the beginning of the internet pretty much. LOL But let's get to it, shall we?
This adorable little basket and paper strawberries are SO EASY to make!!!! I don't have any SVG file or even a Cricut image for them, but so not necessary. Here's the link where I started. I used 6 inch strips but will make them a little longer next time I think. I cut the strawberries by hand after printing them out onto the back of my patterned paper. Each strawberry holds a red Hershey's kiss!
Added a tag to the handle using My Creative Time Vintage Label banner die, stitched ticket die, and stitched heart button dies for extra cuteness. The sentiment is from the Beary Special Thoughts stamp set.
I also added these cutie little charms cuz I love adding cutie little charms. :) These are made using one of the stitched layering hearts dies, and two of the teeny labels from the Chunky Jar Accessories dies.

ReplyDeleteI SO want to make this basket, but I admit I'm having trouble understanding the images. Could you post some written instructions to go along with the images? Absolutely adorable. Those strawberries are too cute. TFS
ReplyDeleteCynthia, it took me a bit to figure it out as well. I'll do a new one and post it here on my blog with new pics and full instructions for how I did it. It's so simple once you see the first step. Thanks for becoming a new follower too!! :)
