ACK! Well, I had planned to have a nice, new Easter basket tutorial for you today, but then I lost a couple days to some mystery illness, and now I’m playing catch-up.
So instead, I’ll share tutorials for three Easter baskets I did last year…
This paper basket is based on the traditional woven paper heart. The how-to is over at CRAFT.
Take a look at the pretty version Tethered2Home made!
(Incidentally, have you ever seen what happens when you put Peeps in the microwave?)
These baskets are made of two fabric circles, placed back to back and then dipped in stiffener and formed. You could easily glue in a stiffened ribbon handle. The how-to is over at CraftStylish.
…And this basket is woven from cardboard packaging. Very sturdy, and the graphics add lots of visual texture. You could always paint them, too. The how-to is also over at CraftStylish.
Enjoy! And don’t forget, Craft Social is tomorrow!
Hey. How did I miss these last year?! I love these. Those fabric circles are a GREAT idea. How cool. Not just for Easter, but for all year, to put any craft in, or candies, or cookies, or art supplies, just fabric baskets all over the studio! And even on the walls, with flowers pouring out!
Every time I come here, my brain explodes with ideas. Then they fall all over the floor and I need two clones to help me collect them again and make them happen.
Oops! where's the cloning tutorial?!
Aw, thank you, Chris! I should have that cloning tutorial done within
the next week or so. :-)
I came across your blog & podcast through your free class last month and I'm in love! Thanks for reposting these tutorials–I've shared my own recycled box baskets over on my blog with a link here. I'm also itching to try my hand at blogzine-making.
You're such an inspiration!
Thank you so much, Amy! I love the way your baskets came out – so colorful and cute! Everybody should go take a look! http://threeinarowblog.blogspot.com/
