Crochet blue basket

I made this basket to see if it holds. I made it with two strands of yarn to see how stiff it comes out. It holds but maybe I should you glue and water I think the formula is to stiffen it up. I don't like the sugar method it might bring ants is summer. I think I might experiment a little more with this basket idea. I also tried a design on it. I put a white insert as well. Let'see if my eldest daughter likes it. I need to try a rectangle or square basket too.
