DIY Wedding - Flowergirl Basket for my little Diva :) - ANDIE918's Green Wedding by Color Blog

OK last DIY project for the day I promise, lol :)

I really must give credit to Angela's Fantasy Creations on Facebook because she gave me inspiration for this project. I fell in LOVE with her flower girl basket she posted and I tried to make one for myself. I wish I could have ordered one from her but being on a budget I wasn't able to :(

I used a paper mache box as the base and covered it with a wide ribbon. I scrunched a bunch of tulle together and started hot gluing it around the box. This was a tedious AND painful step lol.

I wrapped a navy blue ribbon around it then added a brooch to the side. The pearls are actually a handle from a gift bag I found on clearance. It worked perfectly!

Then I added a small Styrofoam square in the middle and added a few flowers to it.

My little girl LOVED it!!

that is too cute!!!

Omg, this is adorable!! How much did this cost you to make?

Adorable! Just simply adorable!

Thank you so much! Hmm let's see if I can remember. I've had the stuff for a while!

Paper Mache Box - $.99 (50% off - Hobby Lobby)
Roll of Tulle (already had)- $1.50 (50% off - Hobby Lobby)
Roll of ribbon (already had) - $1.50 (50% off Michaels)
Pearl handle - $1.19 for gift bag
flowers (already had) - $1.00
Brooch - $10.00

Total: $16.00 BUT I already had a lot of the stuff from my party shop business I run and I only used a fraction of the ribbon and tulle. The brooch was the most expensive part!
