A tisket, a tasket, I'm gonna make a basket

Day 8.
A tisket, a tasket, I'm gonna make a basket

There was an episode of Friends a while back where Joey was going out with one of "The Three Basketeers"...do you think they could use a fourth? I'm all set with the goodies to make the tea basket, but just like with our candy mugs, you can of course use this as a basis for making a basket as simple or elaborate as you like and fill it with items to fit any theme of choice. Maybe we'll explore some other basket themes along the way. But for now, I'm ready to begin assembling all the pieces we have gathered for the tea basket...let's get to it!

 

I really believe making your own baskets is not only fun, but also an economical way to make a great gift. I sometimes think when you buy a pre-made basket in a store you are mostly paying for the wrapping and the convenience of having it all done for you. If you spend those same dollars on more quality contents for your basket and take a few moments to wrap it yourself (as seen here) you can make the gift go a lot further.
