Wounded Warrior Basket Craft

At a flea market I saw a woman who was selling baskets to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.  She was nice enough to explain to me how she did it and I plan to try it when I get home and get the materials...

You take any basket and those decorated 2 ply paper napkins that can often be found in dollar stores.  Use Mod Podge to glue the napkin layers to the basket taking advantage of the weaving when you press the napkins to the basket.  Then put several layers of Mod Podge over the napkins to give the basket a nice gloss.

This is the basket I bought..

The colors are a little bit off- they are really beautiful autumn hues....
