Easter Mini Baskets

Hello Good Friday!  Hope my friends are relaxing spiritually and physically.

I didn't have time during the week to prepare for a Friends with Flair post (Unity Stamp Co.)...  not that I did not make any project, but posted them all and I like to post specifically for FWF and not repost anything.  So, thank God could make these to show before the linky is closed :).

I'm in a recycling mode lately.  Economic situation at home and country is not very healthy, so whatever I can do to ease the expenses, I do.  So for the Easter "mini baskets", I went with these soap boxes I've been reserving for a project.

I covered the first one with paper.

Added a border to help hide imperfections...

And made this fun front cover...  Just cut some strips and inked the edges...

Then fixed to the left with tape while arranged alternately facing back.

Then glued the base also facing back.

... trimmed.

Final result was this "basket" like cover.  I also hand cut some grass and embellished as shown.

Then I went for a second one. Covered with paper, added the borders and embellished with flowers and the sentiment.

I love how delicate this one resulted.

And finally a third one... covered with washi tape... knowing will be transparent but this is just the base.  I would cover then the see through sections with circles of patterned papers, little flowers and sequins.

Just need to put some candy and eggs inside...   Ready for a Happy Easter!  Glad I could do this and be able to link to Unity...  Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!!!!!!

Feliz Día de Pascua Florida!!!!

Today's a special day. Celebrating resurrection, hah? Well... some people might be at Church, others at the beach, others at home... I don't know if has nothing to do with right or wrong, but as long as you are with your family and loved ones, it's got to be a special day. Enjoy it.

Hoy es un día especial. Celebrando resurrección, ah? Bueno... algunas personas podrían estar en la iglesia, otras en la playa, otras en la casa... Yo no sé si tiene algo que ver con correcto o incorrecto, pero siempre y cuando estén en familia y con los seres queridos, será un día especial. Disfrútenlo.

I had this little egg carton I received a while ago in my office as a promotional article advertising a company. It was clever... and I immediately thought "I am going to use this for a project".

Tenía este pequeño cartón de huevos que recibí hace un tiempo en mi oficina como un articulo promocional que anunciaba una compañía. Fue una gran idea... y yo inmediatamente pensé: "Voy a usar esto para algún proyecto".

So I placed my Easter eggs filled with chocolates in the carton and closed it. Covered with cardstock and embellished.

Así que coloqué mis huevos de Pascua llenos de chocolates en el cartón y lo cerré. Cubrí con cardstock y adorné.

This was just a part of it. I also cut some oval shapes with my Cricut machine (using Plantin Schoolbook cartridge), on some scrap paper I have left from other projects. I added some ribbons and elements to simulate Easter eggs.

Pero esto era solamente parte de ello. También corté óvalos con la máquina Cricut (usando Plantin Schoolbook), en algunos pedazos de papel de los que me sobran de otros proyectos. Añadí algunas cintas y elementos para simular huevitos de Pascua.

Cut some grass from the same cartridge... and inked the edges.

Corté grama con el mismo cartucho y le pinté los bordes.

I glued the grass to a basket. I used hot glue cause thought it's going to be safer to avoid this getting out when my goddaughter plays with the basket. I glued two rows of grass.

Pegué la grama en una canasta. Usé pega caliente porque pensé será más seguro para evitar que se despegue cuando mi ahijada juegue con la canasta. Pegué dos filas de grama.

Placed the eggs in the grass all around the basket.

Coloqué los huevos en la grama alrededor de la canasta.

Then glued some fiber ribbon around to cover the edge and filled the basket.

Entonces pegué fibra alrededor para cubrir los bordes y llené la canasta.

This is how I ended up with a fun Easter basket, which I hope my goddaughter enjoys.

Liked it? I'll be waiting your comments.

Happy Easter.

Así fue que terminé con una canasta de Easter súper divertida, la cual espero mi ahijada disfrute.

Les gustó? Espero sus comentarios.

Feliz Día de Pascua Florida!
