Message from Maggie:  You guys- I  found the cutest, cleanest, + most organized local thrift store.  I went there in search of a picnic basket that I can fill with gifts as a hostess thank you for my mother and father in law who are having us to their beach house next week

Materials:

• Picnic basket
• Embroidery floss
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Thrift or purchase a picnic basket.
2. To make tassels, cut one long thread off of each embroidery floss.
3. Bend each embroidery floss in half and tie a small loop at the top using the long thread you cut off.
4. Cut the bottoms to make the tassles.
5. Using the long strings you used to tie the small loop, loop them through the top and use them to tie onto the picnic basket.
