DIY Basket Garden Décor

A few weeks ago, we had a large estate come in to the auction and there were tons, I mean tons, of baskets. There was every shape, color and size you could imagine. I like baskets in general, but I don't really have a lot of room for them, nor can I come up with a lot of really useful, creative ways to use them.
Baskets don't usually sell well, so we used a lot of them as box lot boxes to hold assortments of product. 
But we still had a zillion left over (that may be a slight exaggeration :) and most of them were small, not big enough to be used to hold product. Some of them I grouped together in a large lot, which will probably only bring the minimum bid of three dollars.
So I took all the one that were around 8-10 inches in diameter home. I love baskets of flowers, but I am hopeless with keeping house plants alive, so I couldn't line them with plastic and use them that way. (If you have a green thumb with house plants, these make great country pots!)
So I came up with another idea... 

I took this cute, rustic basket and cut the bottom out of it. It was hard work with regular scissors, pruners would probably have worked better.

This is what I ended up with. I just threw the bottom away as I couldn't think of anything to use it for. If one of you comes up with an idea, let me know :)

And this was the final product!! We have lots of daffodils growing at our new house. I simply gathered the stems and blossoms together and slid the basket over them. Now it looks like I have a basket of flowers in my garden!
I have quite a stock of baskets now. Some of them will end up the garden and I will probably find other uses for the rest. You can find nice baskets at Goodwill and thrift stores for little of nothing.
Have an idea for another use for those unwanted baskets? I'd love to hear it!
