A Pink Basket with Bunny

Today's post is all about the pink -- for Easter, that is.  When I was at the fabric store a while back, I found a couple of round baskets on sale.  I couldn't wait to get home and decorate them!  They were just the size I wanted and I loved that they were round.  I'll show you the pink one today and then you can come back tomorrow to see the blue one.

I added an Easter egg photo holder to the basket to hold the tag.

I tucked in a bunny, also in pink.  If you missed my post about the bunny, check here.

I tied a big ribbon bow onto each side of the basket, using our gorgeous 2-Tone ribbon.  The flower trim and the skirt on the basket are attached using a hot glue gun.  I have the scars to prove it:)  A hot glue gun seems to be the easiest and best way to do a project like this, but it is not for the feint of heart.  You do get burned a bit.

I attached some of our flower trim across the top of the handle.  It adds a lot to the look of the basket.  I tucked in more of the tulle and even attached a tiny sprig of it to the tag.  There is still room to add some Easter treats to the basket.  

I made this for my Prairie Treasures booth (Root Cellar, Wildflour) but I had a hard time letting it go.  I think it turned out quite pretty.  I'm sure it will go to a good home:)

I hope you like it and will come back tomorrow to see my blue one.  Have a great day.  My day will be better after we get our tax appointment over and then I can get back to creating.

We had a good time at my first Walk-In Wednesday last night.  I had several people forget to come, because it was new to my schedule.  Next time, they'll remember and join us.

A Decorated Basket for Spring

Today I have a basket for you that I decorated with more of our wonderful fabric.  The fabric I used for this one is from our Twitterpated collection.  It's a really good fabric for Spring projects.  Yes, I'm just going to keep making Spring projects until our Spring actually decides to show up for us.

The basket started out without a bunny, but I just knew that it wouldn't be complete without it.

I came across a super find at the fabric store for the pink tulle.  It is sold in the wedding/bridal section and it comes in a package of 25 (10" circles).  You can just gather them up in the middle and poke them down into the basket.  It makes a super nice filler and there's no mess.

The ribbon just makes it into a gorgeous little basket.  Our 2-Tone ribbons are gorgeous!
I made a tag for my basket using tags and flowers from our Pop-Up Posies kit.

The fabric insert for the basket was super simple.  I pressed 1 complete piece of the fabric (similar size to a fat quarter) and then folded it in half with wrong sides together.  I stitched it together leaving just enough opening to turn it once I'd finished stitching.  After turning it to right-side out, I sewed up the opening and then pressed it again.  The size just fits this basket and is big enough to make a liner and a 'skirt' all in one piece.

I tied a big ribbon bow on each side of the basket.

It does look best with a bunny though.  Right?

In case you missed it, check out yesterday's post to learn more about the bunny.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a creative day and don't forget to stock up on our fabric while it's 50% off.  I just ordered several packages --- all on sale!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you --- I finished my taxes today!!!  Yay!  What a relief.  Now I can play more with my stamping goodies!!!  Again, Yay!

Stuffed Bunnies to Make You Smile

It's bunny time!  I made these bunnies for my Prairie Treasures Booth (Root Cellar at the Wildflour).  I was inspired by some treat holders I saw on Pinterest and made my own version --- as stuffed bunnies.  I really enjoyed making them.  The boys liked them so much that now they want me to make one for each of them.  I might have to start hiding my projects from them.

 I used our buttons and ribbons to 'embellish' my bunnies.

I used some of our Twitterpated fabric to line the basket.

The bunnies are made from felt and stuffed with a very soft fiber fill stuffing.

I really wanted to keep them all, but thought they might like a good home with a special someone.  This basket is actually an old one that I've had around since I was a little girl.  I think it was possibly one of my old Easter baskets.
