These look fab! My birthday's coming up soon and all I ask for every birthday is 'something for the garden'. I'd be sooooooo happy to get a basket like this. You've given me ideas for next Christmas - and it'll save money if I make my own rather than buy the overpriced ones in the garden centre.

Hi GF, so when is your birthday?
im glad you like them and yep they did work out way cheaper than the shop bought ones

Greenfingers, these can be made for all seasons, they look really sweet with spring flowers. Making them yourself can be lots of fun too!

Love the choice of Christmas colours in these - red and green - lovely, I'll have to remember this for next year. Wohlibuli has given me an idea for Easter baskets too!
