Hello, Crafty Folks!
This week at Shopping Our Stash, we are looking for THANKS projects!
Every October and November, I load up on napkins and paper plates with pumpkins and leaves...all the fall themed stuff. Every year I use a few and then pack the rest away for next year. So, when I saw the theme for this challenge, I figured I would go through my stash of THANKSGIVING napkins and try to create a tag project.
THIS IS HOW PROJECTS GET OUT OF CONTROL IN MY STUDIO!
THE GREAT TAG AND BASKET NAPKIN CLEARING OUT PROJECT!
Here is the napkin I chose to use. Well, this one is a little wrinkled.
I traced a large tag onto a piece of chipboard, applied mod podge and allowed it to dry. This was a two ply napkin, so I peeled away the white layer and worked only with the printed layer. I placed the napkin on the chipboard tag, covered it with a piece of parchment paper and used my small craft iron to adhere the napkin to the tag. It is important to keep the iron moving.

Needless to say, I still had a boat load of napkins left, so I started looking around for something else to cover. My eyes feel on this cute empty basket.
I kinda traced the shape of the interior
Using the same decoupage technique, I applied napkins to both sides.
Before placing the bottom insert, I draped napkins over the sides of the basket!
We are all coordinated!
Now, you know all that ribbon wasn't just there to be there!
I had to sew some little bows on to the sides of my basket!
A TISKIT A TASKIT, WHAT SHOULD I PUT IN MY BASKET?
Why fruit, of course! BUT I needed PAPER to wrap the fruit . I grabbed a few stamps
Voila! Wrapping paper! I made three different wrapping papers!
And then I decorated my basket with a bunch of stuff from my stash!
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING! FROM MY HOUSE TO YOURS!
