Altered Easter basket


I picked up this little basket at my local thrift store for a dime back during the winter.  Some child had drawn hearts with a marker on it.  Three coats of paint and some paper, ribbon, glue and recycled lace and I am proud to show off the Easter basket I made for my granddaughter Abby.  It will be on it's way tomorrow from Florida to Illinois filled with goodies from Grandma.  I tied that cute little pennant on with twine which I just can't get enough of lately.  I need to order it by the spools.  I am entering this creation over at the Wee Memories twine challenge this week where I was really inspired by all the gorgeous twine projects.  You can check them out HERE.  Maybe I will get lucky and this entry will win me a supply of twine....wish me luck! Also entered at the Max Fab World The Little Gifts Challenge where inspiration abounds!  Check it out HERE
