When Bruce woke up and saw the basket he thought it was great! I am going to make another one with the bigger bags and see what happens. I think I was just tired and did not see that it really looks ok. The basket is 8x8 and 4in deep. I will let you know how the other one turns out.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802408575752211988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-10278238401408555442009-11-29T22:25:41.184-06:002009-11-29T22:25:41.184-06:00Melissa, I am sorry you are having trouble.

Feel free to send pictures and I will try to help if I can. Were you sure to fold all the strips so they were 8 layers thick?Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-40180073636345529452009-11-29T21:49:55.978-06:002009-11-29T21:49:55.978-06:00Abbi,

I was only able to weave three pieces around the top and so it is not that deep. Are you suppose to push all the strips all the way up into the band? That's what I did. It seems to me that if I did not do that, that I would be able to weave one more piece around. If I am able to borrow my MIL camera I will take a few pictures and send them to you so you can see it. It took me about 3 hours to just put it together.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802408575752211988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-10480262668540305592009-11-24T10:02:30.902-06:002009-11-24T10:02:30.902-06:00Well Abbi, I know what we will be doing when I com...Well Abbi, I know what we will be doing when I come to visit in the spring. This looks great and I have a ton of paper bags. I get a little confused with all the instructions though so I'm going to have to just wait until I come there and you can show me in person :) Those will be great for secret sister gifts!!! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

These would make some very inexpensive gifts for Christmas.<br /><br />This year I purchased (at 40% off) some small baskets and I'm going to fill them with small jars of jams, mustards, a Christmas ornament and a pretty dish towel. I plan on giving them to my sister and niece when we go there for Christmas day.Gift Expressionshttp://www.giftexpressionsonline.com/christmas-food-gift-baskets.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-52689647740686937442009-11-19T17:04:08.198-06:002009-11-19T17:04:08.198-06:00Abbi, I got my tags in the mail today.
