Here is what happens when you need a quick Easter gift or table decor: You USE WHAT YOU HAVE!!

Today, on my CRAFT, CHAT & COFFEE LIVE stream on FB and Youtube, I decided to see what I could come up with with what I had on hand. I hadn’t even used my Nuts About Squirrels stamp set this past Fall. But when I was thinking about Spring animals, I have a LOT of squirrels in my yard and I thought, “Why not put a twist on this cute little creature?”

I envisioned a rainbow squirrel carrying, instead of his acorn, a bundle of sweet little colored eggs or jelly beans. And this little project was born! I also mention the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set that would be cute as an Easter-colored hedgehog!

In my video, I show how to make the paper basket and it’s SO easy and quick. Because today is FRIDAY, ya’ll and Easter is TWO days away! Check out the video here: https://youtu.be/ve9-xotZ0N4

Here are the written measurements and basic instructions:

1. 6"x 6" cardstock or Designer Series Paper Score 2" across for each side

2. Cut 2 sides, up to the center square

3. Edge with decorative edglit (optional)

4. Use tear and tape, or another strong adhesive, to bring the edges up on 2 sides to form the basket

5. Add handle, using ribbon or decorative paper, 1/2" by 6-12" long

Here are the things that I used in this project that are available right now! Some will be discontinued at the end of the month, some carryover to next years catalog.
