Raise your hand if you love Target’s dollar section! *RAISES HAND JUMPING UP AND DOWN*
I pretty much STALK this aisle weekly for adorable finds…sometimes I swear I spend more in that section than I do elsewhere in the store. So imagine my excitement when I came across this adorable wire Easter basket for just $3.00!! I took it home determined that I had the perfect way to dress it up…that was last week. When I experienced a HUGE craft fail. Want to see it??
Gah! Don’t laugh. A scrappy basket seemed cute at first, but really not so much once you get it finished. Long story short, I ended up cutting it all off, wasting two hours and 4 fat quarters of fabric, and trying again. This one turned out cuter anyways 
So here’s what I did instead. I used burlap garland that I had from a Christmas project and I folded it in half and weaved it in and out of my basket and then cut and glued the ends….
After the whole basket was wrapped, I used a round, hard paint brush to dab on polka dots of fun easter colored paints I already had on hand.
It only took a few minutes and I had my polka dots all around my little basket
I then embellished it with a paper bow I had from another project, added some Easter grass, and my Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Eggs and had a cute little handmade Easter display! The whole project took less than $10 to make and it’s a unique way to display Easter treats!
What are you crafting up for the Easter Bunny?!
This is SUPER cute!
Love this!! Wonderful project do do with my children!!
Abbey, this is adorable! I have a ton a burlap ribbon and you’ve just given me another wonderful idea on how to use it….thanks! Have a great weekend!
This is adorable! And a great way to use up some extra burlap ribbon (or any wide ribbon).
Abbey! This is soooo cute! I’m crying right now because we don’t have a Target. Wahhhh! But you better believe when I DO go I stalk the dollar spot, too. Love this idea! Pinned!
So stinkin’ cute! Love the polka dots
Darling! What a smart idea!
