Broni is hosting the Rubbernecker Wacky Wednesday challenge this week. Her challenge for us is to make an Easter card for a child. I hope you will click on the link and see how you can win a 25% off coupon to use on your next Rubbernecker purchase.
I got a little side tracked on this challenge and thought it would be fun for my project to create a cute basket for a child. We all know that kids love candy, especially at Easter time. I stopped on my way home last night and got a bag of the pastel M&M peanuts that look like little eggs. I knew they would be the perfect size for the mini basket.
This little basket is very easy to make. I printed out the base template on pink cardstock and the liner template on regular white printer paper. I cut and scored both pieces and put together. I left all four edges on the liner about a ½ inch larger than the template pattern so there would be a large enough room to punch the eyelet border and still have plenty of liner showing over the side of the basket. I stamped and painted my little Hopping Chick from the Rubbernecker Spring Pals collection and cut out with snips to attach to the side of the basket. I didn’t think a ribbon or any other embellishment was necessary with this project with the grass and eggs. Claire Brennan shared this template on SCS and you can find it here.
