Make Wonderful Easter Baskets and Easter Bags for Your Little One
Children love to get up on Easter morning to see the gifts that the Easter Bunny has brought for them. A basketful of goodies is sure to be a lovely sight and adds to the festive charm. Make these sweet Easter baskets or Easter bags with your children to hold the treats from the Easter Bunny.
These Easter bags can be made with burlap sacks to give the holiday decor a rustic look. Take a burlap market sack and trim the top off the sack so that it stands about 10" high. Keep aside the piece that you just cut off. Fold the top over the bag, rolling it and tucking it so that the bag is about half its height. When you have a nice "basket" shape, you can press the creases with your hands to mold the basket into shape.
The piece that you cut off can make the handle for these simple and sweet Easter baskets. Cut a strip about two to three inches wide and to your desired length. Fold in half along the length, gluing it down with fabric glue. Use a large stapler to secure the handle to the sides of the basket. Now, you are ready to decorate these adorable Easter baskets. Add stickers, use fabric paint, glitter or attach silk flowers to these burlap baskets for a gorgeous creation that children will love to store their treats in.
Make different designs of these easy-as-pie Easter bags by gluing wiggly eyes and pipe cleaner whiskers to the front of the bags. Cut out ear shapes from construction paper and glue them to the top on the inside of the bag. A cotton ball or two can be fashioned into a nose and a tail. This would give you a cute bunny bag. Scalloped wings cut out from yellow construction paper would be great embellishments for a chick bag. Add black button eyes and a small orange triangle for a beak to create chirpy chicky Easter bags. Add feathers to the wings if you like; feathers in all colors are easily available at craft stores.
Your little ones will love displaying their Easter goodies in these handmade holdalls.
