Easter is right around the corner and today I’m going to show you how to make a super cute {and very simple} Easter basket!  This basket is so quick to make that it would also be perfect for Easter-themed party favors … you would whip up a pile of them in no time!

 I started with a plain $1 pink pail that I bought at Party City.  You can find similar buckets at big box and dollar stores during Easter season.  I used my cutting machine to cut white ovals for ears and stuck smaller pink ovals in the middle {the ovals are cut from pink vinyl}.  If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can do this part manually with scissors.  You could also use pink paper instead of vinyl.

I also cut a small triangle from pink vinyl and stuck it on the front of the pail.  I deliberately gave the bunny a little lopsided nose to make him look a bit whimsical.

I drew the rest of the face on with a black Sharpie, keeping it simple with just a few key strokes …

… hot glued the ears to the back of the basket …

… and added a little white pom-pom tail on the back of the bucket.

So simple and so cute, huh?  All you have to do is fill it up and you’re all set for Easter morning.
