Recycle that frozen yoghurt container (Shabby basket challenge)

Hi Girls,

Thought I would challenge you with something different this time, you will need to go and buy a frozen yoghurt from the grocery store and I want you to make and create a little shabby basket in any kind of theme, you could use these to store your stash, as a gift container or as a swap item.....
Yes girls a swap will be coming with one of these so it's a great time to practise....
I will get an example done in the next couple of days, and yes there will be a rak giveaway if you make one.....
So go on what are you waiting for?

oooooooooooooooh sounds good what size is the container

you know the small frozen ones you get in the frozen section not sure of the size I'm going shopping for some yoghurt tomorrow lol so I can post a picture of what I will be using...

Thanks Maria...

Will have to add forzen yoghurt to the shopping list!

Also just had an idea if you don't have a yoghurt container what about using one of those small plastic pot plant containers that would work too....Because either way it's going to be covered on the outside.....

Sounds different

When these are altered I think your going to love how they turn out...

Here is where I got the idea off a Easter basket swap that a friend of mine in the US participated in.....
How gorgeous are these!

Wow - but not sure how to do a handle like that.....

You could use wire or a pipe cleaner wrapped in ribbon for the handle Judi...

just checked this out Maria, LOOKS FAB !!!! i'll be in this!!!!!

I thought an inspiration photo would help you to see how they look, I might do a couple for the xmas tree....
My friend Debi sent me a tiny tiny basket made out of one of those little paper drinking cups that you get your medication in at the hospital it's just so cute......
Look forward to seeing what you create.....

Maria, just got back from the supermarket and i have TWO FROZEN YOGHURT TUBS in my shopping basket!!!!!!

Lol Noriel that is what I brought as well just in case I made a mistake on the first one....

I bought one on thursday night at shopping but still need to eat it. might do that to night. lol

Too funny Sharon

I dont like frozen yoghurt and couldnt buy a tub just for the tub so I bought a paper mache pot from spotlight.
It is very funny about people having to eat the yoghurt first!

Yeah my kids are like do you need anymore they always seem to stop at that spot in the freezer section lol......
Have my gluegun so will probably get a crack on mine over the weekend....
I used doublesided tape on one attempt and it's come out looking yuk so going to try with a good glue or gel medium and see if it works any better, but I have to hit spotlight so that is on my to do list on Thursday with hubby of course I haven't told him yet that I need to make a detour there lol...

well i ate my my frozen yoghurt last night hopefully DH doesn't throw it away when he puts the dishes away. will have to message him. lol

This is mine!

Lots of fun to make!

Oh Ngaire that looks lovely how did you attach your handle did you use a glue gun, those colours are so pretty together....

The handle is wire and I just twisted it around itself.

looks fab Ngaire, i really need to get started on mine!!! great idea about the handle I was wondering how to attach mine!!!

buggar, I went shopping and forgot the bloody container.. I thought of it in there and came out without it......
