I just grabbed an ordinary box that was the right size..
I did one last year and of course it was an instant hit.Here’s what I put together this year!.
Of course, the one my gramma made for me was all nicely wrapped in pretty colorful papers, but this version suits us just fine this year.. Paper lunch bags, folded over and clipped with clothes pins and a little red and green ribbon for cuteness!.I expected a cheeky remark or two about the plainness of the packaging, but I knew Kennedy wouldn’t care one bit once she got to start finding out what was inside..But you know what?
Not a cheeky remark was heard the day I brought these baskets down and put them out for Kennedy to see.All I got was some twinkling of the eyes and some excited jumping up and down.. And of course questions about which bag held the silly putty.
Hey, it’s what’s inside that counts!.

Yay for saving money!.So we applied some adhesive to the stainless steel and some stabilizer pieces and put the first panel together..
The GE Iron Grip Adhesive offers up to 75% less clamp time than many other adhesives so it allows you to work much more quickly on projects like this.We left our project clamped for about 2 or 3 hours and then we had a nice, straight, flat panel!.
