Students have asked for small baskets that they can use for gifts!! Your wish is my command: a shopping bag basket and a clothespin basket (the legs). This class will teach BOTH of these sweet baskets. Students can pick colors for the shopping bag or keep it natural. These baskets are unusual and perfect for gift giving!
