DIY: Flower Girl Basket
Laurie’s project this week is an adorable, flower girl basket made out of a plain ol’ take out container. Laurie covered her basket with specialty paper and paper flower embellishments, but the possibilites of colors and patterns are really endless. Enjoy!
A Chinese "Take Out" Favor Box (about 5 inches wide)
paper flowers can be found in scrap booking and craft stores. Paper
flowers are from Kaiser Scrapbook. Paper is from Basic Grey.
your hot glue gun. Use a small piece of clear tape to tape the handle
in an upright position. (see figure 1)
the box. Cut out along the lines. Trace and cut out three more
sides. (see figure 2)
wrap the ribbon neatly around the metal handle. When you reach the
end, tack down the ribbon with your hot glue gun and trim any excess
ribbon. (see figure 4)
That’s soo pretty!
I always just adore Laurie’s work! So adorable.
So adorable! I love it.
So lovely!!
That is such a cute idea for a flower girl basket! Love it.
vooow its wonder foull thanx
What a great idea? Baskets can cost a fortune and it’s hard to find a cute little dainty one for the flower girl. This is a perfect solution and for less than ten bucks.
This is an adorable idea! I was a flower girl once (a long time ago!!) and what a wonderful way to make the experience for both bride and flower girl even more special! You can spend the day together, have fun, and be creative! Flower girls miss the bachelorette party, so this is the next best thing :)
I love this! I am in the process of making them right now for my three flower girls. Awesome and unique. Much better than the standard satin covered basket… and so easily customizable! Love this.
What a cute idea! I can’t wait to try this for my wedding in ’11!
