Happy Easter everyone!! Here is the Easter basket make 'n take I did up for the
Art Freckles online crop. Thanks to Martha Stewart for the inspiration!
Supplies:
-coloured paper bag (no handles)
-1 inch or wider ribbon to match bag
-large eyelets
-matching paper, letters, stickers, flowers etc. to decorate bag
-decorative edge scissors or border punch

First take your paper bag and fold about 1" over from the top 3 times. I found it a little tricky to do the first fold, so I tore a little bit on each side and once the first fold is done it's a lot easier to do the rest.

Use decorative edge scissors or border punches to make a decorative edged paper strip to go around the edge of your bag.

Decorate the front of your basket as desired.

Punch a hole in the side of your bag (middle of decorative edge) for your eyelet. Repeat on other side.

Set your eyelets in the 2 holes.

Put your ribbon through the first eyelet and tie it off, repeat for the second eyelet and tie off. Cut the ribbon ends off.

And here is your finished basket!

You can fill it with candy or eggs for Easter! Enjoy!!
