Craft Project: Berry Basket Gift Basket

Berry Basket Gift Basket

Berry Basket Gift Basket

A great way to recycle plastic berry baskets is to transform them into festive containers for treats. Look for the baskets in a variety of bright colors at supermarkets. Fill with dad's favorite treats for a "sweet" Father's Day gift.

Approximate Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

  • clean berry basket
  • narrow ribbon
  • scissors
  • craft glue
  • chenille stem
  • coffee filter
  • candy or cookies

Instructions:

Weave narrow ribbon through the slats of the basket. Use craft glue to secure the ends. Twist end of chenille stem around opposite sides of basket to create a handle. Place a coffee filter inside the basket and fill with cookies, candy, snack mix, etc.
