Found this old basket in my friends shed, she was throwing it out as it had been there for a very long time, so I had to reuse it. I was thinking of using it for when I get new crafting stuff to place there and leave it on my desk, I get new stuff most of the time and I just put it away and then forget about it. I have many items in my craft room that have never been used. the basket was very dirty whit I got it, so after scrubbing and cleaned it all I first wanted to paint it, yet after seeing it when was all clean, I loved the rustic look, so decided to leave it. I added some ribbon around the handle and then some small red flowers around the rim. It must admit that it looks so pretty now.
Happy crafting!
