This evening grandson and I got busy making Valentine paper chains for our tree. THEN, I remembered a few years back ago I had gotten into making little baskets out of construction paper.
I gave it a go with a peice of pink paper, and trimmed in white...and I think it turned out really cute! The flowers were fun to cut out of progressively smaller squares of paper, and I added a cutout part from a doily and a pink center...one on each side of the handle that I braided.
I have to buy a new red ultra fine Sharpie and I will put daughters name and a few red hearts around top edge and fill with Ferrero Rocher chocolates! She is such a girlie girl, and I know she will love this little basket.

Speaking of wallpaper, one year in school a girl made her Mayday baskets from the wallpaper sampler book pages. They were so pretty!
Now how hard is that to braid paper? Your Daughter will love it and YOU for making it for her. I envy you the time with grand child and art making. I need a grand kids fix!!!! Pretty stuff...who thought of a Valentine Day Tree!?
