High Style | Low Cost Easter Baskets - Part 1
You don’t have to break the bank to get custom looking Easter Baskets
PART 1
BUNNY NESTS
If you have several children, grandchildren or perhaps those in a nursing home, Bunny Nests are a great way to keep cost down.
All you need are your plastic bags, Easter grass (you get more than one nest per bag), ribbon to tie on bunny, a pompon for the tail plus your eggs or treats (all from the dollar store) and one of our darling bunnies!
If you are making these for Nursing Homes or other groups where you do not have all the names or time to personalize, pop on a tail and write your message on the back.

Fabric Cross
It seems like time sure is flying by, Easter is going to be here soon.
Today we are going to make a Fabric Cross.
Here are the items you'll need:
Faux Suede Fabric
Faux Suede Fabric
You're going to start by removing the plastic from your canvas.
Next, the hardest part is choosing which beautiful faux suede fabric color you want to use.
We are now going to measure your canvas or wood to decide on how wide and how long you're going to need your faux suede fabric.
I wanted my fabric to be 6-7 inches wide so I cut it that wide and left enough to wrap around the back.
Once I had my faux suede fabric pieces cut, I frayed the edges.
Frayed Edges
Cut the strings up towards the knot.
Keep rolling the fabric into itself and hot gluing as you go.

Now we are going to hot glue our edges to the back.
Run a little hot glue along the back of the wood and apply your faux suede fabric.
Grab your thread and pull it underneath your faux suede fabric.
Cut it off and now tie it into a knot.
Cut the strings up towards the knot.
Do the exact same steps with your horizontal piece of faux suede fabric.
Don't worry, it doesn't need to look perfect right now!
We are going to make a rolled flower so you're going to need to fold your faux suede fabric in a half a few times and cut a strip that is about 1-1.5 inches wide and about three to four feet long.
I start by turning the corner in so that I have something for the other fabric to hold onto.
Keep rolling the fabric into itself and hot gluing as you go.
When you get to the end and you have a half inch tail, roll it a little more and hot glue.
Add hot glue, then wrap your tail on the bottom of the flower.
Now you can move the pieces to get them how you like them onto your canvas by pushing them in or pulling them out.
Just be careful that you don't pull too hard and rip your hot glue off;)
Once you have them where you like them, decided where you want to place your flower and add a little hot glue to the center and place it onto your faux suede fabric.
These would be gorgeous in a bunch of different colors and as a focal cross wall!

DIY Gold Capped Tassels
I love the tassels that Punch Place Plus sells and I think they are amazing quality but unfortunately they don't come in gold tone so today we are going to DIY gold capped tassels!
If you're anything like me, you want/need an item in every color and finish (silver tone, gold tone (okay, you get my point) and sometimes you don't always have the option so this is a very clever way to get them!
Here is what you'll need to get started:
Tassels
Paper Towel
Fine Point Sharpie (Yep, it matters;)
Start by wrapping your paper towel around your tassel.
Why not just use tape? Because it does NOT like the suede! PLEASE trust me!!!
Take your fine point Sharpie and start coloring the tassel from the bottom up.
Why? Because then you don't have to worry about getting any of it on your suede!
Why? Because then you don't have to worry about getting any of it on your suede!
This is where the fine point comes in, you're going to use the fine point to get into the grooves of the cap and in between the hole where your split ring will go.
Once you've got the tassel covered, lay them onto the paper towel that you used earlier and allow to dry.
After they've dried (I did mine overnight) you are golden!
There are currently a few colors sold out but have no fear, they will return next year!
