The main structure of the basket comes from a section of an empty Pringles tube. The cardboard tube was cut to length and then the sides were divided into sixteen strips.

This was woven with some tinsel and a length of gold beads that I had left over from my Christmas decorations.

    Just a bit too blingy for me. But I am sure it is very well made like all your stuff is.
