--------------------
You can make your own baskets from play dough of regular dough which I am including a recipe for. There are also 2 links for baskets and the rest is information you may want to read before you decide or if you will make your own. I think this is the cheapest way for you to go and the only expense you will have to go for is a sealant . Hope this helps you. http://www.craftown.com/instruction/doug… http://www.crayola.com/crafts/detail/rol… http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/pinch-pot… Tools: You will need a couple of simple tools for your sculpting. Choose duller tools if using foam compound. You can use pretty much anything to make indentations. Pencils, screwdrivers, scissors, pins, and picks make great eyes, holes, and patterns on your dough. make sure you put the indentations in your sculptures BEFORE they are dry, or your sculptures or figures will crack. If you are making a large amount of identical figures, you may choose to use a mold. make sure, if you are using a foam compound, that the mold is smooth, metal or hard plastic, and you trim your seams BEFORE drying. Painting: For your dough, you can use ANY oilbased paint, and a few of the waterbased paints as well, as long as you put many coats on your work. For fast drying, smooth looks, use several thin layers of paint intstead of one thick layer. You can also use glitter paint, or if you want a dust of glitter, use powder glitter on top of your paint, without smearing it in. Sealing: For figures that you are going to be using on paper or cardstock, choose a papersafe sealant, such as MOD PODGE. it is a shiny glossy smooth sealant, and will make your figures dry hard. For other figures, ModPodge will work well too, but you can also use an acrylic sealer. use ONLY one brush and ONE pallete for your sealant, and use only ONE coat of it. too many coats will make peeling a good possibility, and that will ruin your finished product.
