Harvest Gift Basket

I had a basket I wanted to recycle - so why not make a harvest gift basket to give away? I used the same tag I put on the harvest gift bag.

I wanted to put a fabric yo-yo on the basket. These are so easy to make. I found a skirt that I didn't want to wear anymore, but the fabric would make fabulous embellishments - like a fabric yo-yo.

Here is a great tutorial on how to make a fabric yo-yo.

The tutorial used a 4" circle. I used the bottom of an ice cream bucket for my fabric yo-yo, and I could have gone even bigger for this basket embellishment. I decided to safety pin the fabric yo-yo to some jute that I tied onto the basket so the recipient could use it again. She has a little girl so she could put it in her hair, sew it on a skirt, attach it to a gift. There are so many possibilities.
