It's been a while since I've done a challenge, I've been crazy busy with my last semester of college!!! And this challenge was just too tempting to pass up!I thought since it is pretty close to easter, I would make a basket! And my one really springtime-y Kraftin' Kimmie stamp is Tallulahbelle. :D
The basket is made entirely from paper grocery bags (two precisely). I cut the tall sides into long strip and folded each strip to make it double thickness for stability and did a basic weave pattern. the tricky part was building the sides, I had to keep my glue gun at the ready to glue each strip in place as I went along.
I also made the big purple and pink flowers. It was my first foray into paper flower making. I also colored Tallulahbelle to coordinated with the flowers.
I had a really fun time with this project, and now I'm thinking of other recyclables I can repurpose in my crafting!
Oh! Also, I used the leaves off some old faux flowers to embellish my own paper ones ;P
