Hi ya,

Thursday already…….unbelievable! i can’t believe how fast the weeks are going, and that it will be school holidays in just 5 more days……but then that has me thinking that it will be Easter next week, and that means Chocolate! Oh it will be hard to have just a little not to indulge, that is for sure!

Talking of chocolate, I have made these cute little Easter baskets. You could still use the template for something else, but I think they look super cute with the eggs in there.

So here is your tute for this week:

Easter Basket             

Materials required:

  • Paper trimmer
  • Ribbon
  • A4 cardstock
  • DSP
  • Large brads
  • Stamps
  • Stamp pads
  • Bone scorer
  • Adhesive
  • Chocolate eggs

Step 1:

 

Cut a 1 inch strip of cardstock from the long side of your A4 sheet of cardstock

Step 2:

 

Layer a strip of DSP in the inside of that strip for decoration

Step 3:

 

Cut your A4 sheet to measure 12cm’s by 20cm’s. Then score in 4cm’s from each side of the cardstock.

Step 4:

 

Cut the cardstock in like shown in the picture

Step 5:

 

Using adhesive put your box together, which will be long and rectangular

Step 6:

 

Decorate your box with DSP and ribbon. I have also used my scallop and circle punches.

Step 7:

 

Add the handle to go from one end to the other, on the inside of the box.

Step 8:

 

Add the large brads at either end to hold the handle in.

Step 8:

 

Add some tissue paper and your 3 Easter eggs.

Finished Product

 

 Super quick and easy and adorable in real life! I am sure you could whip up a few of these in the next week! :)

Enjoy!
