Since I was making baskets anyway (link to post on cat baskets) figured I might as well continue and make some pumpkin themed baskets as well.
I did some rope baskets like this one with black button eyes.
This one was done in the more traditional Jack-O-Lantern style.
Some of my weaving with pipe cleaners.
I have tons of pipe cleaners around my house for all kinds of projects.
The smallest baskets I weaved were anywhere from 1-2 inches.
The small baskets are the perfect sizes for bits of chocolate pieces.
For a quick up-cycled basket project for anyone not into weaving just re-do an old basket by wrapping orange yarn around the handles and baskets.
Add some Jack-O-Lantern features and create away.
Before you know it, your whole home will be filled with Fall themed decorations. Fill your baskets with potpourri to scent your homes.

Happy Fall decorating everyone and please remember to include all levels and all ages when crafting.
Sell them on Etsy next year!!

I tried Etsy for awhile but couldn’t keep up and wasn’t great at marketing or the site design. I want to set up some sort of shop but mostly little patterns and kits I design with vintage supplies. That way everyone can craft together. It is such a fun hobby and I read somewhere it is a great stress reliever.
