A Sweet Strawberry Basket Redux for
Leslie Rahye's Earth Day Bloghop!



I am so excited to be participating in this EARTH DAY Bloghop. I love recycling. I am an avid greencrafter and am always repurposing interesting things in my projects. My project is a repurposed strawberry basket which has been completely transformed with May Arts "Candy Coated" ribbons.


Bright pink, orange, and yellow gingham ribbons are woven around the rungs of the basket. A thin teal velvet ribbon in woven like an overhand stitch at the top and also edges the horizontal lines of the basket. This redux is completed with a fancy bow and snowflake beads glued on the bottom for feet. I have every intention of prettying up a plain potted plant with this bright and lovely basket...but I couldn't resist filling it with some sweet treats. Happy Earth Day!!!

  2. What a cute basket! It looks great with the treats but I think it will look just as awesome with a plant in it. I love the colors of the ribbons you used! :)

    Have a great day!
