At the Easter Egg Hunt I was reminded of the fact that Noah didn't have his Easter Basket yet. Last year Nana gave Noah Adam's Easter basket. It is far too precious to me to use for Egg Hunts and such. It is definitely display only. At the Easter Egg Hunt kids had gorgeous baskets hand painted or monogrammed. I don't have 70$ for a Pottery Barn Basket or the two weeks required for personalization at the store that does the painting. I didn't really have anything else to do and I was bored and had some down time so I thought I'd make it myself. I consulted Laura (my personal make it yourself craft expert) from the aisles of Hobby Lobby and then two days later I got the following results.
It isn't perfect or nearly as cool as the ones from the store but I am pleased. It solved my time and money issue!

HOW CUTE!!!! You did an AMAZING job!
I just have to say my kids have the PBK baskets with liners that I got for $2.99 a basket and $1.99 for the liners when the PBK store I worked at closed. I was SOOOO excited!! Totally worth $5 but NOT worth what they usually charge! :) Althought I love them your basket is MUCH cuter!
What did you use on your basket? Did you paint it?
You are so crafty! It turned out really cute!
So super cute! i am so proud! love it! i am not an expert by any means...especially because i am SO out of the loop on the cool, must have easter basket trends! i miss you tons and its pretty sad when my day gets a little better just chatting with you about paint!
GREAT JOB, CARRIE!! You truly are a little Martha Stewart! And I'm certain that after as many years as she's had practicing and perfecting, you will leave her in the dust when you're her age!! Love you and miss you, friend!
I love it!!!
YAY!!! It looks great!
