This is a new Frantic Stamper die set called Bonnet Basket Treat Cup. The idea is to use it in conjunction with a little plastic treat cups (available in store) to create, baskets or bonnets. You can customise them for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, valentines, any occasion really. Fill the cups with little treats or candies.
For something a little different I turned the treat cup into a spring basket. The flower die that comes with the set was used to cut felt shapes to form the blooms in my basket. I started by cutting a strip of paper to sit inside the treat cup to hide the circle of blu tac I placed in the bottom to secure my stems, which are poked through holes in the lid made with a skewer. I cut lengths of florist wire and hot glued this between two flowers. The centre of the flowers are small felted balls which I cut in half. Again hot glued in place.
The leaves are from the little branch also in the set. Simply cut to form individual leaves and hot glued randomly up the stem. To cover the lid I pulled apart some wool felt to form a moss like base around the stems.
To finish the little basket I cut three of the smallest petite butterflies from felt and scattered them in amongst the blooms. The completed basket stands about 4 inches high, perfect to brighten a little corner anywhere. Your'e going to love this die set, so many possibilities for using it.
Here's a picture of some black and white, "His and Hers" cups, perfect for wedding favours. I used the handle to form the collar and circle cut outs from the brim for buttons. On the top I stamped Mr & Mrs onto the little banner die included in the set. These are filled with black and white jelly beans.
