You Will Need (3 things)

  • Hot Glue Gun
  • 1 yd Felt in different colors
  • Needle And Thread

Steps (8 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    you need 5 basic parts:
    -sides, 2x (6.75inx5in)
    -bottom #2 ,1x (6inx5in)
    -bottom cardboard, 1x (6inx5in)
    -handle, 1x (2.5inx18in)
    -long backfront& bottom, 1x (18.5inx6 3/8in)

    *parenthesis -->the measurements i used but you can alter them if you wish to make your bag smaller or bigger(:

    *im making 3 baskets so theres 3x the materials needed in the picture:o

  2. 2

    in the center of the biggest piece, hot glue the cardboard pice, and on top of the carboard the bottom#2 piece.

    this will give the bag some sturdiness(:

  3. 3

    you may use a sewing machine but i just did a blanket stich to sew up the 2 side pieces.

  4. 4

    fold the handle piece lonways and sew. then sew on to the sides

  5. 5

    if your sewing came out a little too crooked like mine >.< glue in some felt bows or flowers to hide it>.

  6. 6

    print out an easter egg, chick, and/or bunny to put as decoration(:

  7. 7

    trace on felt and decorate.
    then hot glue onto bag(:

    *if yuou want to make it more sturdy like me because i wanted them sticking out of the basket, you should add an extra layer of felt on the back, and then glue to basket.

  8. 8

    and thats all there is to it(:

    happy early easter!^^
