For my project I got my inspiration from a recent trip to Archiver's. They had these paper baskets that I've made before, but there's had something different. They had a peeking bunny over one of the edges. They had used some paper punches and hand drawn a face on theirs too. I couldn't get over the cute idea and knew that I had to make one but with Emma's dies and with a Peachy Keen Face Stamp.
To make my bunny I used Emma's
Stitched Circle Die and the
Stitched Oval Die. Easy peasy but cute too. I used the
Cute and Cuddly 1 1/8" faces by Peachy Keen Stamps for the face. The sentiment is from Emma's
To My Best Peep stamp set and the little piece I stamped on is a die from the
Chunky Jar Accessories set.
If you haven't made one of these baskets before it is SUPER simple. My friend
Pam made a video tutorial on how to make these a while back. Click
HERE if you are interested in seeing her video. Most people make these with a 12x12 piece of paper (which requires a LOT of candy to fill it). I was going for something a little smaller and used a 6x6 piece of paper.
If you are interested in making these in different sizes I will give you some measurements below that might help you out:*The original 12x12 size is scored at 4" and 8" (when completed the base and each side panel is 4"x4")*For a 9"x9" piece of paper score at 3" and 6" (when completed the base and each side panel is 3"x3")
*For a 7.5"x7.5" piece of paper score at 2.5" and 5" (when completed the base each side panel is 2.5"x 2.5")
*For a 6"x6" piece of paper score at 2" and 4" (when completed the base and each side panel is 2"x2"). THIS is the size that I used for this project!And if you want to make a really tiny one...take a 3"x3" piece of paper and score at 1" and 2" (when completed the base and each side panel is 1"x 1")
