Basket liners make a great gift this time of year.  Well actually giving a basket full of treats is an even better gift to give.  Many times we find a great basket but it just isn’t as pretty as we like, so why not make a basket liner for it to dress it up a bit?

The idea to make a basket liner can be a bit intimidating to some people if you never made one and don’t have a pattern.  I found a great video today that can help you with this little problem and now you could dress up all your baskets at home or make a few for gifts.  These really take no time at all, and you could make one for every season and then change your basket liners anytime you like.

Make a gift basket for you friends or family, fill them with their favorite items, like home baked goods, or if it is sewing or quilting buddy how about filling it with fabric or notions they can use.  Not sure what would be more fun the fabrics to make the basket liners, or finding things to put in the baskets…………either way give this a try and see how much fun they are to make.

I would love to hear you comments on how you liked this video or my ideas.  If you want you could send me your photos of the finished projects to share with others here for inspiration.

Well it looks like the embed code won’t work here today so here is a link to where I first saw this video.
