Easter Egg Baskets

These adorable Easter Baskets are so delightfully versatile and can be filled with chocolate eggs or other Easter treats! Easy to assemble, you can choose to make the baskets as an Easter egg or as a cute Easter bunny, then decorate them with beautiful paper flowers and bows! Plus, if you leave the handle off they become Easter boxes, perfect for table favours! 🐰

Very similar in style to my Butterfly Favour Bag there are separate panels to decorate and strengthen the front, back and two sides.

Available from my Etsy shop, the template comes as an SVG cut file, as well as a PDF if you prefer to cut out by hand. 

To make one of these fabulous baskets, you will need:

* Easter Egg Baskets template (PDF and SVG available)

* Computer and printer to print the PDF templates and instructions

* Double-sided cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)

* Patterned card (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)

* Craft glue / double-sided tape

If you are not using a cutting machine, you will also need:

* Craft knife / scissors

* Scoring tool

* Ruler

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the baskets:

TIP 1 : Use dimensional foam or three layers of scrap cardstock (as shown) to attach the bunny's feet and arms to the front of the basket.

TIP 2 : Add shape to the flower pieces using a cocktail stick or a thin, round lolly stick.

TIP 3 : Make a smaller paper flower in the same colour as the bunny and glue it to the back of the basket for a cute little tail!

The baskets measure approximately 9.3cm (W) x 16.5cm (H) x 4.3cm (D) / 3.6" (W) x 6.5" (H) x 1.7" (D), however, this is only meant as a guide, as the templates can easily be re-sized to suit your needs.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own little Easter baskets using my template and I can't wait to see what you fill them with! 🐰

Happy crafting

Strawberry Trug

I am super excited about introducing you to this little trug basket!

I tried to keep the style of the trug very close to the Sussex trug, which is where I live. It is traditionally made up of seven base boards, two rim pieces, a handle and two feet. I needed to make slight adjustments to get the template to work, but overall I am extremely pleased with how it has turned out!

Easy Easter Crafts

With the shops already full of Easter eggs, I thought that I would start early and make a few Easter baskets and bags, so that I am ready for when the day arrives.
