This makes an adorable basket for placing your
decorated Easter eggs, candy or as an Easter
Basket for children.
You'll need:
Doilies (cotton or other material)
Fabric Stiffener
Plastic wrap
Bowls, varying sizes for molds
Ribbon
Choose your bowls ahead of time. Larger
ones for displaying eggs or to use as
Easter baskets, or custard cups can be
used for individual baskets that will hold
candy, or one egg. These can be set in front
of each place setting as favors that your guests
can take home.
Cover your selected mold with plastic wrap.
Work the fabric stiffener solution through a doily,
then squeeze out the excess and shape the doily
over the bottom of your bowl or custard cup. Let
the doily dry overnight before removing it.
After the basket has dried you can thread your
ribbon through the holes near the top edge and
tie a bow where you meet in the middle. Thin
silk type ribbon works great for this. Use your
imagination as far as further decorating. The
basket are pretty as is, but you can hot glue
on miniature roses, or other decorations too.
