Colorful Grass

I could have spent a dollar and purchased some colorful plastic 'grass' to line the little one's basket, but instead I choose to do something different.

I went to my stash of gift bags that I save from each holiday and birthday to retrieve some tissue paper.  I rolled up each sheet to a thickness that I could easily cut and fluffed the shreds to make my own basket 'grass' lining.  The tissue paper was thin enough to make the cutting easy.  As I was snipping away I was thinking about how comic strips might also be used to make a colorful lining for the basket.

Either tissue paper or comics would eventually find their way into my compost pile whereas the purchased plastic 'grass' would have gone to a landfill.
