Tutorial: Fabric basket for handing out Halloween candy

Marni from Haberdashery Fun shares a tutorial showing how to make a fabric candy basket for your Halloween treats. Short handles at either side will make it easy for you to hold out in front of you while the kids pick out their trick or treat goodies. She appliqued the sides of the gray basket with spooky Halloween bats. It’s made from a canvas fabric, lined with a quilting weight cotton and heavily interfaced so it holds its shape. It’s super cute for Halloween, but you could make this from any palette of colors for a year-round accent for your home. Go to Haberdashery Fun for the how-to.
