HANGING FLOWER BASKET #1 and it is

10in x 10 in. finished size
6.5 hook, 2 balls of yarn(1-multi-colored & 1-yellow) thin,applique flower petals or silk flowers, twist ties(I keep from bread, garbage bags,etc,.)foam (sticky on back) bugs, butterflies, spanish moss.
Crochet "foundation row"(6 in. long) half dbl. crochet
1 additinal row (6 in. long or 20 crochet stitches)
2 rows 7 in. long, 2 rows 8 in. long, 1 row 9, 1 row 9 1/2, 1 row 10 in. long. Continue crocheting a row at the end of one side t the other side of basket .  The flowers are appliques I picked up in a craft section.  You take a "twist tie" & attach petal to it.  Push "twist Tie" through several stitches on back of basket.  The moss stuck  pretty well, but to hold better, attach sticky tape & moss onto it.  Attach some foam critters on basket.  You can hang using 2 nails one on top & one in middle of basket to let handle "as is."(flat) I took my handle & tied it in a knot behind the flowers to hang on one nail & give the effect of a round basket.  Experiment!
Mother's Day gift idea!
