Easter Baskets

I was in love at first sight with the Berry Basket, but as an Easter Basket we have gone to a new level!  So many ideas and accessories to add to your basket!  Depending on your treats the sky is the limit.  I used Butterflies on one and a Garden Stake on the other.  You can decorate every side or just one. 
Line with Designer paper or not.  The Stampin' Success magazine suggests lining with the new Washi Sheets.  I have not purchased these so cannot comment other than they would provide a more moisture resistant surface in case you wanted to actually add berries.  The Basket lined with Designer paper is very sturdy and could hold lots of treats!  I did use the Woodgrain background stamp to add some stamping to the Garden Basket.
Imagine the Colorful eggs from the card a day ago on a Basket and it does have a handle, but I did not attach one.  Make these Baskets at my class March 28th for $2.00-2.50  each.


First basket is Soft Suede and I used the stapler to add the top band.
I cut a doily in half and stapled to opposite sides.  I then cut a Butterfly out of Best Year Ever designer paper.  Glue dots added to the Wax paper wings are attached to each side for a super simple basket.

 This Basket uses Soft Suede card stock stamped with the Woodgrain background stamp on each flap.  The band is stapled to the top.  The Garden Stake is 'From The Garden", such an adorable Bundle!  It even cuts out the bow!
And the inside is lined with Best Year Ever designer paper.  YUMM!!  Perfect paper for this purpose and makes such a sturdy basket!
