Here's a nice alternative to the traditional Easter basket, a furoshiki folded into a basket. Wondering what a furoshiki is? A furoshiki is a traditional Japanese cloth used for wrapping and transporting items. But don't worry, you don't need one for this project. You just need a square piece of fabric. Supplies:
Furoshiki or any piece of square fabric. Silk scarves work great for this project. You could also use bandannas, fabric napkins, or embroidered handkerchiefs.
One shallow bowl - any size/kind you want. The larger the bowl, the larger the piece of fabric you will need.

Absolutely gorgeous, and something Australian readers will love, I'm sure!
That is fantastic, and you could use it for so many different gifts. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I could see transporting treats to friends in the basket, too. Maybe a thrifted scarf and bowl inside that become part of the gift. Thank you!
