Project by Lynne Farris.

These baskets make great containers for gifts, storing hobby and craft materials, or as accents to your tabletop decor, filled with fruits and veggies, pine cones or flowers.

Materials and Tools:

Daisy Kingdom Button-its
Daisy Kingdom Lace-its in coordinating color
Daisy Kingdom large 17" denim Connect-it square
craft paints in coordinating colors
sponges cut in flower and leaf shapes
scissors
bodkin
paper towels

Steps:

1. Dip sponge stamps into water to make them "bloom." Wring out and apply paint to sponge surface. Stamp flowers and leaves at center of each side of square, just below double buttonholes. Let dry completely.

2. To make basket, bring four corners together as shown and tie through pairs of buttonholes second from corner as shown,

using 12-inch lengths of lacing.

Tip: At this point, painted designs should be inside of basket.

3. Thread lacing ends through corner buttonholes and tie snugly into a knot at each corner. Trim ends to 1 inch.

4. Turn basket right side out.

5. Thread lacing through remaining buttonholes at center of each side and tie on outside of each center in a small knot. Trim ends diagonally to 1 inch.

6. Add decorative Button-its at each corner if desired to complete.
