A Fantastic Basket for a Gift

Dear Friends,
I just think this is the greatest idea for a gift.  A sweet friend of mine, who has asked when I post that she'd like to remain anonymous, made 11 of these for teacher gifts.  These are baskets that she has woven and on the wooden bases are her children's names, in their own handwriting, that have been laser engraved.  Wouldn't a teacher or relative just treasure this!!!  Cute Cute CUTE!!! 
I've never worked with a wood burning tool, but I wonder if you couldn't do something similar with your child's handwritten name.
I just love this idea and honestly, I wish I'd have thought of it when my children were younger.
Thank you dear friend for letting me share this.
Happy Weaving,
Nancy

  1. Cute idea!

    I did something similar in a quilt I made. I used niece and nephew's signature from a Christmas card,scanned and enlarged it on the computer, put it on one of the blocks and embrodiered it. It was a family quilt for them. They will always have their handwriting from a young age. They loved it.
