For all the years we’ve been giving our dogs an Easter egg hunt, I’ve needed a basket with a long-ish handle to collect the emptied eggs in. But the idea of trying to store such a basket meant that for all the years we’ve been giving our dogs an Easter egg hunt we’ve been using a very frustrating plastic bag until this year when I committed to using up my stash of 1 1/8" bias tape and unsold Collar Cozies.
The main body of the basket is made from one style of Collar Cozies set and I forced myself to not open seams or to remove hems or labels. The handle and top piece of the basket are made from the bias tapes that hadn’t been “cozied.”
I thought that because the strips were already made and that I wasn’t going to fuss about making nice seams, etc. that it would be quite a bit quicker than it was. One in progress shot. Regardless, I now have an easy to carry while photographing, crushable basket.
Thanks! This was meant to be a one-off project, but of course I have thought of at least a few different ways to make others using different/better materials.
