Easter Egg Basket Tutorial

By Larissa Fyodorovna

“In celebration of Earth Day, I came up with a upcycle project. As luck would have it, this day fell on Easter. Therefore, I made and decorated a basket for eggs.

In this project I went out of the things I found at home, which would normally have ended up in the trash can. You can deviant use other things for use, so all specifications regarding dimensions and material are optional.

For this Easter project I have chosen the collection Ephemera Queen. This collection has really gorgeous color combination that is perfect for this.

Watch the step by step tutorial as a video. Maybe you are inspired to create your own Easter basket or something similar.

Have fun with it!

-Tips-

An upcycle project for Earth Day is about using the things you would otherwise throw away. Take a look at your things. You will surely find some things that you can reuse.

The fact that everyone has different things can create wonderful unique works of art.

• If you like the effect that the butterflies look as if they fly, they could be attached to strips of robust foil. Attention! Be careful with the hot glue – not every foil can withstand these temperatures, you may have to switch to another glue.
