Crafty Ways to Fill Your Basket – Wicker Pocket Wednesday

Hey, crafty friends! Do you have a favorite Easter tradition with your family? My family loves to do Easter egg hunts and we still do them even now that my girls are older. Here in Minnesota, we hope every year to be able to do an egg hunt without snow on the ground. We will see what happens this year after our record breaking snowfalls!
There are always Easter treats involved in our egg hunts and I have always loved when little bits of hand made goodness are a part of that – tags, packaging, cards, and more. All this week I have lots of fun Easter treats to share with you that are perfect for adding to an egg hunt or for filling up Easter baskets.

Today’s treat is this completely cute wicker basket pocket that is perfectly sized to tuck a small treat into. It’s created with the Wicker Pocket die and has a basket weave texture on it that is created with the Basketweave Cutting Plate die. The sweet Easter embellishments on the front of the baskets are die cut with the Easter Treat Toppers die collection. There are Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares tucked into the pockets that you see here – that’s a yum from me! You can tuck other similar sized candies into the pockets or you could also tuck a gift card or money inside the pocket too.
Check out the video tutorial from Taylor below to learn how to create these cute Easter basket treats:
I love the tip that Taylor shares about inking the woven paper strips with a stencil brush so that the texture of the basket stands out on the pocket. It’s details like this that really take your projects to the next level!
