Buddybonthenet - what a brilliant idea, If I can get Outdoor ones I could turn it into a light up hanging basket lol

Do you think I could use that technique for my scotty dog?

Hi s_michaels, I had an idea last night but I'm not sure if I've got the gyst of things so excuse if I'm talking twaddle.
As I understood it, you used pot pouri(sp?) but the dog was a bit floppy?
I was thinking you could still use the pot pouri but sew a small pillow out of thin cotton or muslin and put the pot pouri in that, then stuff the dog with toy stuffing and add the cloth pillow of pot pouri with the stuffing.
Just an idea. Love the baskets, bet you'll come up with some fabulous ideas. Loving the outdoors hanging one.

Soblivion - I will have to give that a go as I think that's the best idea yet.

Buddybonthenet - Going back this lunch to see if there is any left. Can't resist at 10p each lol.

Went back and got 2 more of each design and a big lime green plastic bowl. So the plastic bowl will now be my fruit bowl and I can be crafty with my 6 metal baskets!!!

Morning everyone,
Annie's attic free pattern today is a bunny basket which I would like to make for my granddaughter, but it uses a double ended hook. I've got tunisian hooks and I think the principle is the same, but I can't find the double ended hooks anywhere. Any ideas? TIA
