Very cute. I might make a few, but definitely they would be a little larger. Great idea!!!

You made the perfect size to fit on a desk or end table. I like the bells.

I think it's big enough---just keep refilling it! Great idea for a favor on a table. Love it.

I enjoy making baskets! Yours is adorable. Is there a pattern for this. I usually just make square ones and this would be a nice variation.

that is really sweet and cute. how did you do that? I love the bells. they add such a wonderful touch. I know you guys think I'm buttering you guys up, but I'm not kidding. The quilts and stuff I see on this board is really amazing.

Sweet thought and sweet gift. Perfect gift for a friend and neighbor.

I found the bells at JoAnns along with some mini jingle bells.
This one I used 6.5" square fabric, midweight interfacing and lining. Stitched, together leaving about 3" on one side for turning. Top stitich around edges. Fold in half (end up with a rectangle) Marked about 1/2 to 5/8 inward on the fold, and another mark about 1.25 up the side and stitiched point to point for the taper on each end, then folded the other sides and stitched again.
I've also done this using 10.5" squares and stitched up the sides 2.5" and taper to 3/4 on the fold.
I made a smaller one about 8.5 and just a slightly smaller taper (don't remember what I did for this one!)
Cute baskets and everyone enjoys receiving them!

That is darling. Love the bells.

annette1952 12-10-2015 05:25 AM

So pretty! Those would great gifts for like my mailman & my trashmen & a few of my neighbors. I usually give them candy trays but I'm not going to make much candy this year if I make any at all. Thanks for the idea!

kaylfordsollimo 12-13-2015 08:12 PM

Very cute. I'm sure she will be delighted.

Anne P 12-15-2015 05:35 PM

How clever you are. I've seen this little "basket" used as a thread catcher, but had not thought to use it ass a candy dish! Very well done. Thank for the measurement info.
