Patty's holiday basket

Patty and I were working on a little side trade around the time of the holiday trade, so I made her this basket. It's a cardboard basket which I decorated in a Christmas Eve theme for her. Acrylics, foam shapes, silver hot glue gun, tissue paper, and lots and lots of glitter! It was a lot of fun to make. Though if I had it to do over, I'd seek out a wooden object, as the time and work invested is a lot for something not so durable. Luckly she's crafty and can fix it if it gets squished in an Xmas box -- LOL! I hope the plasticity of the acrylics gives it some strength so she can use it for years to come. :)
