this will give the bag some sturdiness(:

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

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.
