While doing some spring cleaning I came across this wooden fruit box & knew I had to come up with an idea to make it useful. Sew I decided to pad it with batting & line the inside with paper to fill the wide cracks & then I had to make a bottom out of wood (had hubby cut me some). next I needed some handles & they would have to be strong to hold this as it was abit heavy & that was empty. sew I found an old braided belt & cut it in half & used it for the handles & cover the whole thing & then lined it. & ta da (did you guess)
