Vintage Picnic Basket

Hello there! Happy Tuesday!!

One day last week I got to thinking of something that I could use this Vintage Picnic stamp set on besides a card. I went looking around the house when it finally hit me to go grab my utensil basket from the deck box and fancy it all up! Since we decided we were having the Scion gang over for a 4th of July party, I thought this would make a beautiful table decoration! I found all these coordinating paper plates, plasticwear & napkins stored in my hutch from last year, so I pulled the colors from that. I even had ribbon that matched! I put a double layer of punched stars completely around the basket. I added a gold brad to the centers of them and popped them on with dimensionals...so they'd stick better. I ran the ribbon in & out through the weaved basket and put my main image right on the front with dimensionals as well. I wrapped a few napkins around the plasticwear and tied it shut with white grosgrain.

I really like this! I'm thinking of making some invites for the party that would match! WooHoo! Take a peek and let me know what ya think, ok?
