Easter Baskets

I started last week on this project for my the sisters I visit teach.
They are Easter Baskets.
They are made out of balloons and crochet thread.

Step One: Wrap the thread around the balloon so the balloon is mostly covered.

Step Two: Coating in sugar syrup and letting dry overnight or longer if needed.




Step Three: Pop the balloon.




Step Four: Cutting the top of the baskets.


Step Five: Decorating the baskets.


I used trim, ribbon,buttons, fuzzies poms poms.



Step Six: Put Easter grass in the baskets.




Step Seven: Put candy in the eggs and put them in the baskets.
Now they are ready to give away.



They were fun to make for my sisters.
