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.
