Bushel Basket Bonus

Fruitstands offer a variety of crates, boxes, and baskets that are sources for endless decorating ideas—especially for a dorm room or low-budget apartment.

A simple footstool can be made with a bushel basket, woodstain, one-half yard of fabric, pillow stuffing, and an old button. Stain the basket. Make a round pillow and sew the button into the center, going through both thicknesses of material. Turn the basket upside down and place the pillow on top. Debbie Jones, Roy, Utah
