DIY Paper Easter Baskets

Today we have a special post by Lori Hairston, one of the guests in our March blog hop. She showed me a picture of these handmade baskets that don’t require a fancy die and I knew we had to showcase it here on the blog.

Let’s take a look at her post and video, shall we?

Hi, there! I’m happy to be here to share these mini Easter picnic baskets.  So fun to make and they turn out adorable, especially when topped off with that sweet little bunny from the Easter Friends stamp set!  The bunny and egg are cut out with the coordinating dies and the tag is part of the Stitched Notes Dies.

What is it about Easter baskets?  I’ve always loved them.  When I was little I used the same one every year.  One that was passed down from my uncle.  My daughter, Lauren, used the exact same Easter basket and I’m keeping it for Louisa.  She’ll be the fourth generation to use it.  It’s old, it’s worn, but I love it!

I’ve sized these to hold 2 plastic eggs.  Even though they’re mini, they’ll hold plenty to give as an Easter treat.

You can check out the video to see how easy the baskets are to make and there’s a couple of quick tips on the tag, too.Click the graphic below to watch it!


Louisa (even though she’s only 4 1/2  months old) is definitely getting one of these.  Her momma can keep it and put it out every year.  If you make an Easter Picnic Basket to give away, I bet it will be loved enough to keep from year to year.

Have fun creating Easter projects with Pretty Pink Posh goodies!
