Ok
- so I admit I'm an Easter Addict. Not just the enormous amounts of
incredible chocolate that hides in a variety of baskets and bowls, but
the decorations themselves. Is it because I'm a dedicated Egg Artist...
or is my resemblance to the Energizer Bunny (or so my friends say) as I
go hopping around at a breakneck pace trying to get everything done at
once? The only time I slow down is when I near my craft room and
something catches my eye. Today I was lured by the site of colorful
scrapbook paper and some googly eyes. That's what I said -- googly eyes!
As
I paged through pages of patterns and colors, I remembered a great
little gift that a friend made for me one Christmas and that I changed
(with some help from her) years ago for other
holidays. Pulling it out of my files (translated means rummaging
through boxes of cool stuff that could make your head spin) I decided to
resurrect this cute Easter Bunny basket for this year.
By
folding one sheet of large paper you can create a basket that can be
filled with grass. To create the bunny, take a piece of rectangular
paper (I used white) and fold it around a large Hershey bar. Attach the
googly eyes to the front with a pink circle centered beneath for the
nose. Her years are oblong pieces of paper, with smaller pink pieces
centered inside. Cut a half circle for a hat and attach a rose and
there you have it. The perfect papercraft Easter basket that can easily
be mailed to your favorite person. Who am I sending them to? I'll
never tell, the Easter Bunny would disown me!
