Brook,

Good question! I forgot to mention that I reinforced the bottom of the baskets with cardboard cut to size. I warned everyone not to carry them by the handles Just in case.

Kendra,
Very cute idea! Is the basket strong enough to hold the jars and pass them out to your family members?

I love, love, love this basket! I am giving “gifts in a jar” this year, and I was wondering what on earth I could put them in (I, too, have more time than money!). These baskets are perfect!

I wonder what the result would be to spray paint the basket with colored paint (before adding the ribbon, of course). If anyone tries this project and spray paints, please share your results!

As always, Kendra, another fabulous post.

anna-

Yes! Definitely black fingers. BUT, if you spray it like I did, it won’t bleed onto whatever you put into it
