Hi Friends!
I’m starting to make plans for Thanksgiving. Are you? I love finding a new recipe or two to add to our traditional menu and ideas to decorate our Thanksgiving table.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to participate in a challenge, The Thankful Challenge. I jumped at the chance because I had a fun idea for a bread basket I planned on using for our Thanksgiving. But, now I can share it with all of you. Here’s what I made. An interchangeable DIY lined bread basket.
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is having my family “gather” together around the table and spending time together. I feel so blessed to have an amazing family. I just love the word “GATHER” and what it means, so that is the word I wanted to add to my basket for Thanksgiving.
If you want to make your own basket here’s what you’ll need:
DIY Lined Basket Supply List
- A metal container or basket (without handles)
- A yard of fabric
- 1/4″ wide elastic
- Thread to match
- Sewing machine
- Wooden letters
- Paint
- Sponge brush
- Magnet Strip
DIY Lined Basket Instructions
- Place your container on the back side of your fabric and draw around the bottom edge. Cut this out.
- Measure around your container.
- Measure the height of the container and add 5″.
- Cut two pieces of fabric the width of the container and by the height plus 5″ you measured.
- With right sides together sew both short ends together forming a tube.
- Press the seams open.
- Fold over one end of the tube 1/4″ and fold again 1/4″. Sew in place.
- Sew a gathering stitch on the other side 1/4″ from the edge. Gather.
- Pin the bottom piece of the fabric you cut first to the gathered edge. Right sides together.
- Stitch together adjusting the gathers evenly around the basket liner.
- On the back side of the basket liner one inch away from the hemmed edge zig zag stitch the elastic into place. Pull the elastic tightly as you go.
- Place on your container with the right side up.
- Paint your wooden letters in a color that matches your fabric. Let dry.
- Apply magnet pieces on the back of each letter. Attach to the container. (I had the idea that I could change the liner and word out for different holidays or events. So, that’s the reason I added magnets to the letters.)
- (You could use a basket instead of a metal container and glue or tie on the letters.)
That’s it. I’m actually excited by the possibilities. What do you think?
