Instructions
- Cut and assemble main box.
- Cut and assemble carrots, fill with candy first.
- Cut and assemble flower.
- Cut and assemble ”Some Bunny Loves Me”.
- Attach two strips together to make handle to desired length, mine is about 15 inches long. Attach to sides of box. I added the Epiphany Crafts Studio scalloped shapes here.
- For the stem of the flower, I used ribbon. I made loops of same ribbon for the leaves. Attach this to the front of the box and then hot glue the flower in place.
- Use dimensional adhesive to attach the slogan.
- Tie ribbon on the handle.
- Fill box with grass and arrange carrots inside.
- Give away or enjoy yourself!
Design Tips
- Use some great Spring papers for this as Easter is a time for freshness.
- Ink edges. I always say it, but it makes a big difference!
- Use little things to make it special. Pearls, Epiphany Crafts Shapes, or something similar, ribbons, etc. These little bits take your project to another level.
- Add glitter. Some of my papers are glittered and I also glittered the edges of the flower. Pretty for Spring!
- Always take your time and be neat. There’s no rush and if you do, it can show in the final piece. You want neat seems and edges.
- I found to hold the flower securely, hot glue works best, but be careful not to burn yourself!
I had fun making this cute little box and hope you will give it a try. Give that traditional Easter basket a cute and fresh look! I hope you have fun making one for your loved ones!
