I created my own pc of fabric with scraps to make this basket so that I could put my new scraps in it. So this is a basket made out of scraps to hold some of my new scraps LOL I am debating about putting grommets & cording for the handles? I haven't been able to find any metal grommets yet but have not given up. To make it "stand up" I put 2 pcs of plastic cutting mat together & place them inside then duck taped them together to make a circle shape & then sewed the lining back up. It is a good size basket almost 12" high. I added a pc of cardboard to the bottom just to give it more weight. It is pretty sturdy for a cloth basket. A really nice way to use up some of those scraps you kept but never knew what to do with them lol (besides it makes room for more LOL)

Clever idea and a great way to use up the scraps as you say. Where's the water? :)

Nice basket before bringing this up I thought the little guy drown in the bottom . There is room for several ducks or scraps in this basket. So this is good decorative basket idea.
