Dollar Find Friday! (Friendship Seed Basket)

Sorry today's post is so late! I procrastinated (what's new??) a little on finishing my project for today. But here it is!

Friendship Seed Basket


Supplies-
Wooden basket ($1 at Michael's)
Filler (I think that this was $1 at walmart)
Prima flowers
Ribbon
Acrylic paint
Paint brush
Seed packets (you can find the template for this HERE)







Step 1- Paint wooden basket with acrylic paint


















Step 2 (optional)- Ink edges of basket. I like to do this because I think that it adds a little depth.
















Step 3-
Decorate with ribbon and prima flowers. I used brads in the middle of my flowers and then glued rhinestones on top of the brads.













Finished project! I made a card to go with this project so it could be used as a gift basket.

So what do you think?











Hope that you all have a wonderful weekend!
