The Frog Princess made this fantastic basket for me for Mother's Day this year.
Her kindergarten class made them, with their wonderful teachers
(whom I adore and will miss terribly in a few short days!)
They cut the top off a 1 gallon plastic milk jug.
Then they decoupaged tissue paper squares with a water and Elmer's School glue mixture.
When they were dry, the kids laced beads and silk flowers onto pipe cleaners
and added them as handles.
I love my new up-cycled basket so much.
I think we're going to have to make a bunch of them this summer!
Now I'm debating what to keep in it...
I'm thinking my small baby washcloths that are a kitchen staple around here
for wiping spills and sticky faces + hands.
This basket is much more artsy and green than the store-bought variety.
Go ahead and make one, you know you want to!

So colorful and fun!
I mentioned your blog and linked on my awards post. I highlighted new blogs I have discovered and really liked.
Oh I do, I do!
And thanks for the baby washcloth tip - I use ours to clean up the art table so they're rainbow-colored these days!
We just made these for my daughters birthday, the kids loved them, thanks for sharing :)
