Visiting Teaching (January 2011)
One day at BYU, I went to visit a friend in the dorm across the hall. Her roommate was at the table preparing little baskets of RUNTS candy by Wonka for the people she visit taught. I think she used candy cups, and pipe cleaners. When I read this months lesson I remembered that day, and thought about how well the little treat baskets expressed the purposes of Relief Society. I thought of the Relief Society members in 1842, taking baskets of food to their sisters.
For this basket, I used a freebie pattern from Waltzing Mouse Stamps (Click Here) and I printed it “Multiple Pages Per Sheet” to make it even smaller. (For Instructions on how to do that with a PDF file click here.) I printed it on the back of scrapbook paper, cut to letter size. Then, I printed out some Relief Society Logos Click Here and the Fruits of Relief Society (Click Here), cut out a border for each and put it all together with plastic wrap and some ribbon.
What a cute idea, i was looking for some idea, and i came upon yours and ♥ it! thanks for all the instructions.
Thank You. I’m so glad I could help. I was really happy to find a free template for a cute litte basket like this one. I’m sure I will find more uses for it and some of the others on that website.

Thank you so much Matilde, for your comment. I love your blog too. What a wonderful day we live in that we can share ideas about the gospel with people from all over the world. I am excited to try some of the crafts on your blog. I especially like the Sewing Jar and am thinking about using it for February’s VT message on the Restoration.

Estou animado para experimentar alguns dos ofícios em seu blog. Gosto especialmente do (Agulheiro Feito De Garrafa Pet) Jar costura e estou pensando em usá-lo por mensagem de fevereiro de VT sobre a Restauração.
Thanks for the great idea and templates. I took this to my sister today and it was a great discussion helper when I gave the message. You are inspiring!
I’m so glad this idea could help and am so pleased to know that it aided in discussion of the gospel. I have a strong testimony of the importance of visiting teachers like you, who are committed and dedicated to those they serve. Best wishes!
Hugs,
Hi, I just found this post on pintrest and would love to have the basket pattern but the site you referenced is closed. Could you share it?
Hey There,
I have redesigned it a little. I will get back to you later today.
