I copied this cute little Easter Bunny Basket from Dawn Griffith. Here are the links to her videos: Basket and Bunny . I very seldom copy anything exactly, but this is so cute. It is also quick and easy.
BASKET SUPPLIES:
Card Stock: Whisper White
Blushing Bride (I used Pretty in Pink) Basket 5-1/4″ square, Handle 3/4″ x 8″
Big Shot: Scallop Square Clear Die #115950
Other: 1/16″ handheld punch #101227
Sticky Strip (she uses SNAIL)
2 brads
BASKET DIRECTIONS:
1. Score 2 opposite sides at 2 scallops (1″). Score the other 2 sides at 3 scallops (1-1/2″). Fold all score lines.
2. Cut score lines on the 3 scallop side from edge to the other score line.
3. Put Sticky Strip on the center sections of the sides you cut. Put Sticky Strip on the scallop edges that will fold over the center sections.
4. Remove Sticky Strip red backing. Fold center sections up. Then fold one corner over the center, making sure it is squared up. Now fold the other corner over the center, also making sure it is squared up. Repeat with the other side.
5. Put a small strip of SNAIL on the ends of the handle and stick it to the inside of the basket. Punch a 1/16″ hole in the handle and the box. Put a brad through the hole. Repeat on the other side. You are done with the basket!

The heart is upside-down for the bunny head. Place Dimensionals on the back of the two 1-3/8″ Whisper White circles and place as shown on heart curves. Place a Dimensional on the back of the 3/4″ pink circle nose and place slightly over the center of the cheeks. Place the 1/2″ black circle eyes slightly behind the cheeks and close to the nose (use SNAIL). Adhere the inner pink ears to the larger Whisper White ears. Adhere to back of bunny head in desired position. Tie a bow with the ribbon and adhere it to bunny with a Mini Glue Dot. Place 3 Dimensionals on the basket in a line and place bunny on the front of the basket. Fill basket with goodies.
