One of my good friends from high school moved to a new apartment and I wanted to make something special for her and did some searching on Pinterest. I found lot's of one's using kitchen utensils but she's already lived in a house so I didn't want to do that. I saw a cool one on Martha Stewarts website and took that idea and ran with it. She did a cute bucket, but I was on a limited budget so I hit up the dollar store and Wal-mart for some great deals.
The inspiration:
My Version:
You can add or change items but here is what I put in it.
Basket
Batteries (AA & AAA)
Tape
Goof Off
Light Bulbs
Furniture Buttons (put on the bottom of stools so they don't scratch)
Scissors
Super Glue
Lighter
Nails
Picture hanging kit
Microfiber Towel
& the emergency candy bar! :)
Ribbon & Paper to embellish
I used my Cricut to cut out the letters and put it on the paper that I attached to the basket. I added some ribbon that I weaved threw the holes and tied a bow. I added some tissue paper to the bottom and wrapped tissue paper around the stems of the glasses so they wouldn't break.
I thought it turned out pretty cute!
I love doing these little baskets for people & they seem to be big hits.
