Description

Began by drilling holes in enough milk lids to go around the outside of the basket. Attach each lid with a piece of yarn, using a yarn needle. Next, make strips from the fleece, poked each one through the edge of the basket, slip on a bell and knot them. There are 6 bells on this toy. I have also used wire to reinforce the clapper. Cut straws with the Twirly Whirly tool and use a zippy tie to attach to the inside of the basket.
