A Wonderful Ribbon and Plastic Basket

When I first saw this basket at my local craft store,

Step 1:

it looked like this. They were just setting them out.  It brought back memories of my Mom.  When I was a child, back in the 50’s and 60’s, my Mom had a plastic basket like this! It was brown, and the holes were larger (around 1 inch) and I watched her weave fabric in and out of the holes to make it a solid bag to hold her yarn in for crocheting and knitting etc. I realize that what I remembered was my Mom crafting, and I wanted it.  I thought I could wait.  I lasted 24 hours.  (Maybe I’ll make one for my Mom.) This is how I made a good basket, wonderful!  Here we go.

That is such a cute idea! I hate those holes anyway. Nice job!
