Today I’m sharing these cute and adorable Easter Baskets that are 3 1/2 x 6″ in size. These are weaved baskets and takes about 30 minutes to make. So much fun. Below are pictures and a quick tutorial on how to make these baskets along with a video to show you how to make them as well.
Materials: (2) 12 x 12″ pattern paper sheets, (1) 3 1/2″ circle cardstock, and embellishments.
I made these baskets for Graphic 45’s #G45MixandMatch Challenge. I made three baskets using Graphic 45’s “A Ladies’ Diary” paper and “Sweet Sentiments” paper.
