Handmade Holiday: Moroccan Inspired Baskets

December 10, 2015 · 4 Comments

Handmade Holiday: Moroccan Inspired BasketsI love Moroccan blankets, and inspired home decor, I mean who doesn’t. It’s just so beautiful and fits many decor styles, but they can often be too expensive. I’ve had this diy saved on my to do list for awhile, with the intention of making a few for Christmas. If I’m gifting someone with a group of smaller items, I like to place the gifts in something that it part of their gift and they can then use, like this tray. But a set of these baskets are just a lovely gift on their own. Whether for the fashion or beauty lover, or for a mommy-to-be and her new nursery, these baskets are just the prettiest things to coral those unattractive items. Handmade Holiday: Moroccan Inspired BasketsI bought several different colored and style sequin strands and tassels, but if you prefer the more traditional style go with just silver. You’d actually be surprised how easy this handmade holiday gift really is, no sewing required! I do suggest you make a few extra, because you will want to keep them for yourself once you’re done. 

You’ll Need
  • White Fabric Storage Baskets {I purchased mine here}
  • Scissors
  • Fabric Measure Tape 
  • Sequin Trim {about 1″ thick}
  • Thin Sequin Trim {about 1/8″ thick}
  • Tassel, Pom Pom or Fringe Trim
  • Fabric Glue 
  • Sewing Needles 

Handmade Holiday: Moroccan Inspired BasketsHandmade Holiday: Moroccan Inspired BasketsBefore cutting your trim strands, place them onto the basket to determine your desired look. Measure the circumference of your baskets, and cut your sequin and tassel strands accordingly.

Starting at the baskets seam, begin applying your first trim at the top. Place a thin line of fabric glue about 2″ long, apply the trim gently and continue along until the ends meet.

Place needles in a few sections of each trim, in order to secure the trims in place while the glue dries completely. 

Handmade Holiday: Moroccan Inspired Baskets I don’t store silver tinsel garland, but it sure looks pretty in these baskets. But they are perfect for keeping my gloves and winter head gear on hand this season. I love these specifically for a nursery or child’s room, I mean they make hiding diapers, wipes and creams on a changing table look much better! Handmade Holiday: Moroccan Inspired BasketsSince most of us can’t afford a traditional Moroccan wedding blanket, these baskets are a great way to bring the style into your home and gift someone with a handmade gift that brings a bit of luxury into their own home.

Beauty Lover Gift Guide: 
  • Lush Olive Branch Shower Gel:  I fell in love with the scent of Lush’s Olive Branch bath gel when I was gifted it for my birthday, and I’m hooked, it makes showering feel like a beautiful experience. Lush is a great organic beauty brand, from soaps to masks, it’s got something pretty for every beauty lover. 
  • Frank Body Scrub: In a short time Frank Body has exploded, and for good reason. Ever since I first heard about their scrubs, I never looked back. Along with their body balm, it really works to achieve smooth skin, and reduce the look of cellulite, stretch marks and scars. What lady would’ want that!
  • Dayna Decker Candles: Because if you’re gifting luscious products for an amazing bath time, you need an delicious smelling candle to make it even more special. Now I don’t purchase Dayna Decker candles, because well they’re just too expensive for me, but I was able to score two 12oz candles for $35 from a Today Show special. Now you don’t have to go buying a candle that expensive for a gift, but a nice rose scented or lavender candle work just as lovely.

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
