Items needed to make a basket baby carriage:

Two wicker baskets - a larger one with handle, and a slightly smaller one without

Hot glue gun - glue sticks

Plush Baby blanket

4 receiving blankets

1 sleeper

1 t-shirt

1 onesie

One large baby powder

One baby bottle

Booties, Bibs, washcloths, etc.....

Safety pins, straight pins

lace, ribbon

One baby doll

I used a large wicker basket with a handle to start(it was about 16 inches long). I then placed the smaller basket standing on end inside the first one to make the "canopy" and hot glued it into place.

I think you can actually buy wicker baskets that already look like a baby bassinet.

I covered the bottom with a nice plush blanket. The handle is covered with a sleeper and the canopy is covered with a receiving blanket. These were all secured with either safety pins or straight pins.

The "wheels": one was a baby bottle and the other a bottle of baby powder wrapped in receiving blankets with ribbons tied on both ends. On each side where the handle meets the buggy are baby booties.

Inside the buggy is lined with a receiving blanket and the "blankets" are a matching T-shirt and onesie folded to cover the dolly. I attached bibs and washcloths here and there for extra decoration.

Most of these items can be changed up - i.e - you could use all onesies, or all receiving blankets..... I had bought a pack of receiving blankets and then I had a gift pack with the t-shirt, onesie, bib, booties and washcloth in it. So I just used stuff wherever it worked.
