The basket is really clever! Wish the photo was a tad clearer! Here's where all those simple templates minimized could come in handy! This looks like Lori Jean potential! LOL

I used this same idea a few years ago to make a valentine decoration for my front door and it still looks very good. I cut two big hearts from the big brown paper bags and used the same method as this one, but painted them red and also painted the words Will you be my valentine plus some small white hearts, etc., before gluing them together, put a twisted wire hanger on it and hung it on the front door. I have had a lot of nice compliments on it and people wanting to know how to make it. They seem to be surprised that it is so easy to do. I also made a big rooster like this years ago which turned out very nice. Had forgotten about that til this post. Am going to make some Christmas ornaments this year for my primitive tree. Thanks for reminding me of this craft. Now, the trick is finding the paper bags --I miss getting them at the store instead of the plastic ones. fran in al
