Four little Easter baskets for you to make for those kids in your life! Three of them are easy for kids to make too!
Easter Basket #1:
Look at that adorable bunny face … and, of course, the adorable back end too!
It is made with the Stitched Shapes Thinlits and a few embellishments. (A black Sharpie on the White Perfect Accents makes the eyes and the heart in the Enamels Shapes makes the nose.)
The basket itself doesn’t get any easier – it is a 6″ square of paper just folded and cut. I used the Cupcakes & Carousels Paper Stack which is already that size! (Any size square will do – but watch the video to see why I like those 6″ x 6″ papers.)
Watch this really short video to see how it all comes together!

Easter Basket #2:
Twenty-two years ago, when I became a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, the very first 3D project I ever made was this bag-a-lope! I hadn’t made one in years, but recently a newer customer was telling me about the most amazing thing she had seen the week before and wanted to teach me – it was the bag-a-lope, of course.
Doesn’t that show how everything old becomes new again? And … a clever idea is a clever idea forever … it doesn’t always have to be “new”.
This is such a great project when you have kids in your home (or visiting your home) because we all have some envelopes on hand. It doesn’t matter what size or color. When you show kids how to make these and give them some markers or punches or stickers – or anything at all to decorate with – they will be making these over and over!
And, of course, this bag-a-lope isn’t just for Easter. Its perfect for birthday gifts, or thinking of you gifts – or any little surprise gifts!
I decorated this little basket using the Sweetheart Punch and the Basket Bunch stamp set.
See how easy it is to make a bag-a-lope!

Easter Basket #3:
The Fringe Scissors makes this basket easy!
I’m guessing you might have some empty Stampin’ Up! embellishment containers around. They make a perfect base for this quick & easy Easter basket.
Cut a piece of any green card stock 2 1/2″ (or any width you want) x 8 1/2″, fringe it along one side, and attach it to the empty container. Cut out a circle with the same green card stock to cover the bottom.

Easter Basket #4:
Are you a fan or Peeps – or know someone who is – or someone who isn’t that you would like to tease???
This teeny tiny basket made from the Basket Bunch Bundle is perfect!
I forgot to make a video for this – and if you would like me to, just let me know!

Love basket #1 best but hard to choose they are all adorable
Could not find where to vote so hope this is okay. I vote for number 1 ,very easy to make just by using a 12 x 12 sheet,get 4 !
My vote is for basket #1; so cute for table favors. See you and Tim at 1:00 today.
#1 is the best one with the cute face and bunny tail. Love all of them and it was so hard to choose which one. But I sure like to see a bunny hopping around and seeing the final end when it hops away. Yep you guessed it right the tail – laughing.
Karen, all these basket ideas are great! It’s really hard to choose my favorite! But, because I’m a Peeps person, I’m gonna go with the Peeps basket! It’s too cute! I too remember the bag-a-lope as one of the first 3D projects I saw at a Stampin Up party many years ago! Love to see it back!
They are all great ideas that I plan to use, but my favorite is #1!! I’ve already made 6 of these!
I vote for number 1 but they are all so cute
I vote for #3!!!!
Basket number one is my favorite, for ease of completion and cuteness!
Karen love them all but I think I will be giving #1 a try this weekend. Thanks for all your idea shares.
#1 is my Favorite.
My favorite is basket #1. Who can resist that cute bunny face! I also liked the unique construction of the basket.
I still love #1.
I like #1 the best, but it was so hard to choose.
My favorite is the fringed basket! Darling ?
Adorable baskets! I want #1
The first one is my favorite. It has so much personality!
They are all cute ideas Karen, but as a Peep fan I must go with #4 the Peep Basket. Kids of any age would enjoy getting that.
I love them all but #1 is my favorite!
I like the first one! Actually I LOVE it! (But the peeps one is cute too)
They are all so cute, but #1 is my favorite!
They are all great, but I’d have to say the fringed basket (#3) is my favorite. Thanks Karen!
The first basket is my favorite!! Thanks!
All the baskets are adorable. I pick #1 as my favorite.
I like #4 with Tim’s peep–love all your ideas!!
Great ideas! Number 1 is my favorite.
Well….aren’t these just the sweetest things since chocolate!!! My favorite is #1……it just makes me smile.
I vote for #1. Love that cute bunny!!!!!
Karen,
I love them all for cute and quick ideas! My favorite is #1.
I love all of them, but my favorite one is number three.
They’re all brilliant and clever Miss Karen. I’m torn between #1 and the grassy basket. #1’s cute cotton tail and larger capacity wins the day though. Thank you for all the videos and the trip down memory lane with some of the styles.
Love the 1st one!……#1 had my vote!
I vote for #1. They’re all lovely, as is everything you make.
I love the fringe one #3 because it’s not a usual Easter basket.
They are all cute but 1 is my favorite.
Love #2 the bag-a-lope and all of your baskets are adorable. I make mostly cards but a good 3D item now and then is fun too.
Easter basket #1 – loves the bunny with the coton ball tail. Put name on handle for table place settings!
I love them all, but number 1 is my favorite. You do such nice cards!
I love basket #3 using the fringe scissors. Adorable.
Number1, fits the most candy! #4 , so Tim can have the Peep! Lol
I have to vote for #1 – if I have to choose just one! But I am planning to make all 4 to mail to the grandchildren in their Easter baskets. It’s also why I had to buy the basket bundle – those adorable stamps and dies!
I like 1 & 2
#1 I love the bunny tail ! Actually I love everything you make thank you for all your creativity you bring out in me !
Ofcourse I voet for the bag a lope
I love them all. If I have to chose one, it would be the fringed basket!!!
I like the first one. All are cute though. Don’t include me in drawing. Let someone else have a chance.
They are all cute! I think my favorite is #3,
I love #1, but I have made 2 dozen of the bag a lopes since seeing that demonstration . Too hard to pick just one. Ok I’ll go with #1.
I love number 1.. but I have never made a bag a lope.. going to have to try it ?
I love basket #1. Although I really like the others also!
