I've been wanting to make a tabistry basket for a looong time, but just never got around to it til now. This basket is supposed to look like a flower with petals for sides. (Didn't make the bunny, and had to use plain plastic eggs I found in the daughters room.) The basket is pretty small at about 9 inches tall and 7 inches wide.

I used polar fleece on the entire basket using a similar weave to the last corset I posted for the sides. I think ribbon would probably be a better choice for this type of project. Is kinda odd to have a fuzzy basket. :)

The yellow bottom was an attempt to make the center of a flower like a daisy. And, I was inspired on the handle by jewelry items one of our tabistry group member had posted in our facebook group. It's worked really well for a nice sturdy narrow handle.

I tied a small flower, which is based on my favors, on the handle that I made from the scraps for polar fleece.

I wrapped the darker pink around the end tabs to cover them. I'm liking how it turned out softer than other edge treatments I've tried. I think I might make some more of the flowers at a later date. They's be cute on a headband or something.

If I had more time, I'd make some other sizes of basket. There are so many ideas to try. Just wish I could get things done faster. But, alas, I must keep reminding myself I'm only human and have limits. :(
On other projects, I'm still plugging away on the corset tutorial. I've got some new pics that should work better, but I'd like to get a few more. And, I've been a bad girl and started another corset that I'd like to get finished. And, want to rework a couple other projects that I've put off.
Have a Happy Easter!
I love it. My 4 yr. old would go wild about it, too. The basket being fuzzy and soft is what makes it so "Eastery". Great job on another fantastic basket.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks, cncgirloo. I think our daughter likes the fuzzy, too. But, I still can't help but feel like it would look more basket-like if it were made with something smoother. I think "plarn", or plastic bag yarn, would also work great on this.

Do you have any patterns for this basket? If so, please email me a link where I can find it. hollyjune1989@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSorry, I haven't finished one, yet. But, it's on my list. Hope to have something before this coming Easter. Wish me luck.
