For this challenge I wanted to make a container using the Spellbinders Grand Labels Four. I thought that the bracket on the end would be an wonderful corner piece. I had trouble deciding between a basket or a box, so I made a basket and included a lid for the best of both worlds. I simply connected four of the Grand Labels Four, then added a liner inside and constructed a lid to fit on top. I used Flourishes Christmas Music Background as the design paper for the project. For each side of the basket, there is an accordian folded flower medallion that is seated on Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles SM panel. I finished off with a tag from Spellbinders Tags Five and the sentiment – Celebrate the Season.
The basket measures 8.5" tall including the handle, 4.5" tall for the base of the basket where goodies go and 6" wide from tip to tip of the Labels Four.
This gets filled with chocolate and off to one of my friends when we get closer to Christmas :-)
