I think it’s TOTAL CRAP that vendors are charging around $50 for flower girl baskets. It’s a FREAKING BASKET, that’s used for less than FIVE MINUTES, that you throw flower petals out of, which will probably stain the basket anyways. Awesome.. NOT!
I REFUSE to buy one! It’s dumb! I got some awesome baskets at Joann for $3 each (I’m having 2 flower girls) and I am going to revamp the heck out of them! They will be 508,432 times awesomer than the $50 ones, and I bet I’ll end up paying less than $10 for the materials, for BOTH!
Anyways, if you feel the same way I do, I’ve gathered a bunch of tutorials for making your own from scratch, or revamping a plain ol’ basket like I’m going to do. I’ll be sure to post my outcome and tutorial when I finish them, so you can see what I did! Yay!
Update: I finished the flower girl baskets and wrote a tutorial! Click on the photo to see what I did!
