I thought it was time I brought you another craft project.
How cute is this fabric lined Easter basket?
My good friend Vonda shared this with me and I thought it was too cute.
I hate Easter grass, it’s messy and wrecks havic on vacuum cleaners, not to mention dangerous for pets and children. Even the paper ‘grass’ is messy and dangerous. Tissue paper is cute, but can be just as messy. Well, how cute are the lined baskets??
They look more expensive and ‘finished’ than just a plain wicker basket.
I know right?! And you could do green or yellow for either boy or girl.
Or how cute would pink or blue gingham be?
Quilted fabric would also be awesome!
What you’ll need:
1. scissors
2. tape measure
3. pencil
4. spray adhesive
5. fabric (remnant would work great!)
6. basket
Find a pretty basket
Measure sides and bottom
Cut the fabric to fit, allowing for it to overlap.
Make a fake seam at the top just by folding the fabric over and using spray tack.
Then trace the bottom of the basket, and glue that fabric panel over the sides already glued in the basket to cover up the edges.
The baskets turned out better than I expected! Elmer’s Spray Adhesive is tons o’ fun!
It’s SO easy and no sewing!
How to you personalize and fanci-fy plain wicker baskets?

Thanks for Vonda Burroughs for contributing this craft!
Paula, great tutorial and pictures. I have a basket just waiting for this.
Thanks,
Linda
What a great Easter project. And I would rather make this one and keep it for use every year, then by a cheap one. Thanks for sharing!
