18 days later...

well 18 days from the last post .. I have been busy... this was not the quick and simple project I thought it might be..
The picnic basket, did not take long at all to disassemble it, and about the time I got it apart, I regretted it!

~Top~

~Bottom~

When I got the top off, I found that the straps were held in place by rivets.. :( about the time I got ready to give up and just put it back together.. My cousin, told me to get the drill and drill them off... My idea and his idea of using the drill were 2 different things.. I thought I was going to drill a small hole though the center..

Rivets removed..

After getting rivets off, I glued the padding and fabric to the front.. then marked the holes to put all the straps back in place

New fabric glued on

Holes marked to put the straps back on

Used 1 in fasteners instead of rivets

tada... what the lid looks like with new fabric

The bottom was NOT so easy...

till next time...
