The woven basket is cute but I'm definitely not giving up my day job to start weaving - too fiddly. I confess to using a bit of glue to keep the woven bits in place. But the end result looks quite good (if I say so myself) only takes 1 sheet of 12x12 and the link to the tutorial is here.
Here's a couple of pics to show you (2 baskets didn't get a chance to have a photoshoot). Instructions for the 'lantern' style baskets here on Leslies blog.

Twin bunny basket - for my mum, used up some Sweetwater papers from the stash.
Triplet bunny woven basket (for my DH) - DCWV cardstock.
Stamped sentiment and ribbon by Stampin' Up.
I feel quite virtuous using up those Sweetwater papers that I've had for ages! I haven't got an Easter egg - cue the sad violins - DH forgot, so panic-bought a box of Celebrations. Still, chocolate is chocolate, and I'm sure I'll get to share those Lindt bunnies!
Have a lovely Easter!
I love the woven basket. I'd been looking for something like that myself but settled for an easier design - probably just as well as I had 9 to make. Thanks for the link though - yours looks very impressive. Sara xx
ReplyDeleteI think I'd have been a basket-case myself if I'd had 9 to make!

Hi, Alison! Thank you for the link and the chance to see how absolutely adorable and perfect your baskets turned out. I love the woven basket, too! It would be so cute in the Fall with some apple-flavored candies inside. It looks like the extra time involved was well worth it, even though I understand how that extra time can be difficult to come by. The whole idea with my lantern-style basket design was "quick and easy"!
ReplyDeleteLove your Easter baskets!Thank you for the link.
