This is a very easy project and can be made with things lying around the house. I used small floor tiles (any size will work). I purchased a wall paper border that went with my decor. The paper I used, matched the Chef theme in my kitchen. I started by cutting out some of the Chefs. I then wet the backs as you do with wallpaper, and adhered them to the tiles. I then finished them my adding a clear coat of gloss craft paint. This can be done with any paper items you choose, by simply gluing them to the tiles. I hung them on plate racks and they are great decorative addition to my kitchen. This can also be done on plates, for decorative use only.

Supplies Needed:

• Tiles
• Wallpaper or any other paper cut out
• Glue
• Scissors
• Gloss clear coat craft paint

This project is a bit difficult but once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless.
I used only one package of raffia for the baskets I made. The amount will depend on how large you want your finished basket to be and how large the package of Raffia.
Start by gathering about ten strands of raffia, line the ends up and twist them a bit. Begin rolling the raffia towards itself. Once you have rolled it twice around, begin to stitch it to itself. The thread will be become part of the design of the basket. Every time you go around, stitch the pieces together. Once you have the bottom the size you want, start building the walls up. To do this, you use the same technique. The only difference is, you will wrap the strands on top of each other, stitching them as you go. Continue in the same way until you have the desired height.

A handle can be attached by braiding several strands of raffia together. Attach the handle by stitching it in place.

Supplies needed:

• Raffia
• Embroidery Floss or Ribbon
• Needle
