I used some bright, cheerful papers that I found in my stash. They're from Close To My Heart (retired). I gave this picnic basket to a friend with some chocolates inside and a gift certificate. It all fit inside nicely. She was thrilled with how cute it was!
My first attempt, I used sticky backed card stock on the hinges, but it wasn't sticky enough to hold, so I re-cut the 4 hinges and the clasp out of regular card stock and used double sided tape to hold them on. That did the trick!
(Here's a look at my first attempt -- hinges not holding, but it gives you a good view of the clasp on the lid).
This picnic basket went together very easily and was such a hit with the recipient. I'll definitely be making this again!
The Simply Crafty SVGs design team had a blog hop over Memorial Day weekend, and as I promised, I'm announcing the winner of the $5 Gift certificate to the Simply Crafty SVGs store today. The winner, chosen by random.org from the comments on my blog on the hop is: Lisa Lynn. Contact me, Lisa, and I'll get your gift certificate to you. Congratulations!
