Snazzing up a basket

So, I don't know yet whether this will be the gift card basket or the program basket.  We found this little tan wicker number at T.J. Maxx for, I think, $4.99.  What a deal!  But it needed some sprucing up...

I had some extra faux English ivy from the wooden letter project, some gold cording, and two small faux daisies from the daisy pens project, so I got to work.

First, the hot glued the gold cording around the front half of the basket.  Then, I carefully affixed ivy leaves one by one underneath the cording.  Finally, the glued the daisies into place on the far right corner of the basket.  It took about 10 minutes total!

The finished product:
