Easter Belly Boxes

March 7, 2022March 6, 2022

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. Since I have Spring fever but its still snowing here, I decided to get busy making some Easter Belly Boxes for my nieces and nephews. The belly boxes come in an array of animals and they are perfect for Easter baskets. I chose the Bunny (SVG, Silhouette) and the Chick (SVG, Silhouette) Belly Boxes. For a quick tutorial, you can see this blog post.

Not only are they adorable but their bellies hold plenty of candy!

Lori has lots of Easter ideas in her shop. Go check them all out and have some fun making your own Easter belly boxes!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Impossible Easter Basket Card

March 15, 2021March 13, 2021

Do you need some Easter Cards? Lori has many adorable options in the shop. I am sharing one of the new impossible cards. Find it in Lori’s SVG Shop or on Silhouette.

This card has several small elements, so it is great to use your stash of scraps.

Pro tip: Ink any edges before piecing together. When piecing the basket and bunny, start with the eggs and build up. Lori has a video tutorial showing how to put together any of her impossible cards here.

Have a great week and Happy Crafting!

Hexagon Easter Basket Tutorial

March 12, 2020March 11, 2020

Hello and happy crafty Thursday! Aimee here with you today sharing a tutorial on how to assemble the adorable Hexagon Easter Basket (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette). These little baskets are so cute and look great in a rainbow of colors!

First thing to do is match up some 12×12 papers for each basket. And pull the SVG file up on your screen.

This particular SVG file requires you to cut 2 each of the base of the basket and the layering pieces. I cut out 2 of the handles as well. I wanted the handle to be solid colored instead of being able to see the underside of the patterned paper.

Here are the pieces of the basket that I started assembling.

Adhere the two pieces that make the base of the basket. To make it easy, I adhered the side tabs on each piece and laid them flat to make sure that both pieces were even along the top edges. Then I added the layered pieces and then started assembling the bottom tabs to complete the bottom part of the basket.

Glue the two handle pieces together and lay aside to dry.

Adhere the bottom tabs of the basket to the hexagon piece to complete the base of the basket.

Attach the handle to the basket. There are holes in the handle and the basket to add a brad to attach the two together. Last thing to do is assemble the bow and adhere it to the handle.

Then you get to fill your baskets up with some Easter grass and something decorative or some Easter yummies! Add them to your Easter decor or to your Easter dinner table with a chocolate bunny.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you find these Easter baskets just as adorable as I do and give them a try!

Easter Basket and Carrots by Corri

March 28, 2013March 26, 2013

Corri is here today sharing an adorable Easter project with us, she says…

Lori Whitlock just added this adorable carrot box to the Silhouette Store. I just love it and couldn’t wait to cut it.

I cut the carrots as sized in the file. I embossed the green tops with the Cuttlebug D’Vine Swirls embossing folder. I cut this adorable 3d Easter Basket at 10″ wide so I could fit the carrots inside. I probably should have gone a little larger . This basket it so cute…it just takes to brads to hold it together.

The paper on my project today is all from Echo Park – All about a Boy.

Beautiful Easter Basket by Christine

Ok, I will admit it. I have a weakness for chocolate. So I’m so glad that most holidays feature sweets as part of the celebration. Easter, of course, is no exception. In fact, it’s the best holiday for chocolate and sweets in my book. So when I saw that big chocolate bunny created by Lori, I just knew he would be the perfect thing to put into my woven Easter basket.

First, I cut out the basket. I used some woodgrain paper from Lori Whitlock’s paper for Echo Park. The basket went together very easily but I would suggest cutting out two handles so that you can have both sides of the handle look the same and so that it is a bit sturdier. Lori has a video on her YouTube channel that shows you the exact steps to putting this basket together.

Next, I added this cute little bow as decoration. Wow, what fun these little bows are to put together. I am definitely going to do more of these in my future projects.

Here is my little chocolate bunny. I thought it would be fun to cut out his bow a couple more times and attach the extra pieces with foam adhesive. I love the dramatic look. I also cut out a mirror image of him and the bows sothat you could see him from both sides.
