Easter Bunny Baskets – Happy Easter
Are these not the cutest Easter Baskets. I am having Easter Brunch this morning with 3 of my BFF”s and their hubbies (Brian is shooting at Pala) today and made these Easter baskets for them that will be filled with Easter Treats. These baskets were so easy to make using the Dandy Designs DSP (SAB item now retired but I saved a lot of this paper so I can use it over and over) Easter Bunny Bundle 160606 which will be back in Stock in April and is in the new catalog. I used the Layer Circle dies (retiring and I am so bummed, these have been a staple for SU), Used Several stampin blends to color in the bunnies and other images.
To make these cute baskets take a 12 x 12 DSP and score it one side at 4 and 8, then turn it on the other side and score at 4 and 8. Then you cut on two sides (top and bottom) starting at the 4 inch score mark cut up the the next 4 inch mark using your cutter, then go to the 8 inch mark and cut up to the 4 inch score mark. Repeat this step on the opposite side. Then apply tape to the right side corner of the 4 inch end piece and tape onto the middle 4 inch piece, then tape the 8 inch score marked 4 inch piece on the corner of the left side and tape onto the other two pieces. Hard to explain but the picture of the basket will make sense. I cut a 1/2 by 11 stripe of paper from the Fresh Freshia, Balmy Blue, Mango Meloday For the Handle and around the paper with my bone folder and stapled the handles onto the bag. Once you have the Scallop and Circle pieces together that will hide the staple marks on the front of the basket but will show in the inside (minor detail). I cut a White Thick card stock at 3 7/8 x 3 7/8 and put that onto the bottom of the basket to make it more sturdy. So cute right.. at least I thought so and so easy. You can make these baskets for any occasion if you need a cute bag or basket for a present or treats.
