Recycled Fruit Baskets

I love these plastic blackberry boxes. They have snap down lids and perfectly-sized slits around the top for weaving ribbon. We used to do this with the little green strawberry baskets.

The girls needed a bit of help with the up and down motion of weaving and untwisting the ribbon. But the finished product is so pretty and just perfect for storing our ABC Uppercase and Lowercase and Numbers 1-25 homemade card games.
