Homemade FG Basket


Next week for us is a busy week! Why? nahh we just having a wedding date, lol. Well, a family gathering, my bro in-law finally getting married to a beautiful fellow Filipina a family friend back home, they met when husband and I with kids and him went to visit PH last September of 2010! Anyhow, the rest is history! They will tie the knot in just a matter of days and everybody is very much excited of course including meh! YEY! Husband and I will be in the entourage so as our lil man and the lil girl, she's their flower girl! So to make my story short, since i do enjoy doing crafts I decided not to buy her flower basket but instead to make one! So i did, this is the basket i was working on for 2 days, it is customised by momshe the color motif is purple with blacks and whites ensemble. I wanted to be unique and not a store bought basket! It is only simple but pretty, the bride and groom decided not to have a lavish or extravagant wedding just private with families and friends so thought the basket fits perfectly! That's the step by step thingy. What you think do i qualify for a job?? LOL.

Material you need for this cute simple flower girl basket:

A basket of any kind (depends what size do you want, that was from my plant i kept the basket for future use)
Fabric glue, glue gun or any kind of crafts glue.
A box of rose petals
5 packs of decorative flowers
2-3 rolls of ribbons of any color and designs
Scissors

That's it guys.

Mommy it is very pretty and you did a great job. That is so sweet of you to make something yourself for the bride and groom's day. I would make mine too, but when I got married I had a help from a Filipina and she did all the preparations. We also had an intimate setting and we had it in our backyard. :) Congralations to the soon-to-be-newlyweds!

Wow, this is beautiful! I haven't done stuff like this in years. It's odd, I have patients for a lot of things but some crafts I just can't sit down long enough to do!

Very pretty, would remind me of something my mom would make while I was growing up! Thanks for the beautiful share!

That came out beautiful! I made my flower basket and ring pillow and all of my other decor for the reception and it made it so much more meaningful! Plus it saved a ton of money! Great job!
