An Easter Basket - Just for You!

Today I wanted to share the cute little Easter Bag/Baskets I made for my grandniece and nephews.  I am hosting Easter Dinner this year and I wanted to have something special for the little ones.

I had just purchased these sweet little Jute Mini Natural Bags and knew their little 4"x4"x4" size would be perfect for the little people!  The bottoms are 4"x4" but the sides push out a little so they are sort of roundish in shape if they were filled up and the opening is larger than 4"x4".

 I personalized each bag by printing a picture of each of them on Sticky Back Canvas with their name and Easter 2013.  I printed them in Sepia to match the natural bag.

This one is for James who will be 2 years old in May.  Inside each bag I put a squishy rubber chick, an egg filled with Mini Teddy Grahams and a plastic chick filled with mini peanut butter crackers - trying to be a little more healthy than candy for the kidos! 

Here's a close up of the picture of James - such a happy little kid!  The canvas has a sticky back - but since the jute is so coarse I was afraid it wouldn't keep sticking - so I tacked down the corners with some bakers twine.

 

 Here's the bag for Landon who is James' cousin and will be 3 in September.  I used different colors of wrinkled seam tape on each bag.

Just look at this sweet face -   his eyes are a beautiful blue.

And finally the bag for Mila (pronounced Mee-la) Landon's little sister, who is just 7 months old.

Here's the close up of Mila -  she is just the cutest little button!!  

I'm actually going to give them the bags empty and have each one go on an Easter Egg Hunt to find the goodies to put in their bags. Mila will need a little help finding her treats but she'll have fun holding everything.  

I'm so looking forward to this lovely family Easter gathering!
