I needed a new holder for pot pouri in the conservatory and remembered making them out of paper when I was a child, my gran taught me how and I made loads for Christmas presents one year. They can be made in all sorts of sizes and you can use everything from newspaper to cardstock.

I managed to find some instructions here http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2009/06/newspaper-basket.html

I am making one with old patterned paper that I will probably not use for scrapping. Newspaper is the best to start with and the end result can always be painted.

That is really cool!!

Oh I love that --- can you just imagine all the possiblities, especially with all the paper that we scrapbookers have in our stash?!! Thanks for the link Rosemary!
