Burlap Easter Basket

I had picked up some brown burlap in (my favorite) remnant bin at JoAnns.  I know you can do a lot with it, but I just hadn't found the right project to test it out on.  Until I saw this on Life in Wonderland.

It turned out pretty good, just don't look too close.  I also should have used more stiffener on the handle (contrary to how the picture looks) because it doesn't actually stand up on its own.  It was my first time using the stiffener, though, so I thought it went pretty well.
