This is what I have been doing and why my posts are few and far between. I have made about 125 of these "Baskets". And.... I have had help.
I use PTI Front and Center dies, both 1 & 2. I cut pastel paper with the die. My sister Sherry *Hi Sherry ~ and THANKS!* sewed the pocket or "basket" part for me. The bottom edge is folded up 3" and the sides are Zigzagged. I used my Easter solutions cartridge & my Cricut Expression to cut the Egg cards. Target has packages of glitter paper in their shrinking scrapbook area 2, 12x12 sheets for $1. A BARGAIN. They actually have several colors including the white I used. The eggs were cut at 4". A 4" doily was cut in half and adhered to the front of the flap. A 2" punch was used to cut the circle in the center of the die. Happy Easter was cut with the same Easter cartridge at 1 3/4". The ADORABLE felt bunnies & chicks are from Michael's. They are also a BARGAIN. You get 24 in a package for less than $3! I used various little "charms" to decorate the tiny clothespin. And what would I do without Seam Binding??? I use it on EVERYTHING!!! It is the most versatile and cost effective ribbon out there. Lastly the candy. I found packages of Swedish Fish eggs and some other miscellaneous bags of candy that were sort of flat. Also mini Reese's bunnies.
So, I have already sold around 75+. The ones left I am sure will sell next week! The picture of the group is about 60+, not all of them!
Happy Easter to all!
Thank you for looking at my blog!
