BOWquet:)

So, today I sat down and decided to try and making something kind of "crafty" to hold some hairbows that I am going to give as a birthday gift..... I took pictures along the way to show you how to make one of these if you decide that it is something that you like:)...... so here goes:)

Step#1: get a box (similar to the one that is pictured) and tape the top of it together (as shown)..... It doesn't matter if the tape is neat or not/you wont see this at all when it's finished.

Step#2: Cut pieces of ribbon (the length of the box) (any colors that you want)

singe the ends of the ribbon with a lighter

hot glue the pieces of ribbon to the box vertically until the front of the box is completely covered.

Step #3: cut pieces of ribbon (the length of the box horizontally) and glue them onto every other piece of vertical ribbon (this will leave about one inch of ribbon in between spaces without glue on them (so that the clip of the ribbons will slide through easily)

Step#4: after you have glued the pieces of ribbon horizontally cover the back and sides of the box with a bandana (or you can cover the entire box with ribbon in the weave pattern if you desire) using hot glue

Step#5: make sure all edges are smooth (use a lighter to keep ribbon from coming undone)

glue pieces of ribbon around edges and anywhere else that needs covered.

Step#6: clip hairbows to the outside of the basket (onto horizontal ribbon pieces)

Step#7: apply headbands to the top of the box (making a basket handle)

Your basket BOWquet is complete:)!!!

(fill inside with tissue paper and voila!!! you have a wonderful birthday gift:)!!
