We have an Easter egg hunt at church next Sunday, and I wanted Natalie to have a special basket for her first church Easter egg hunt.  I had seen some cute ideas online, and in some catalogs…but I knew I could make something just as fun for her.  So, I picked up a basket at the Dollar Tree…and turned it into an Minnie Mouse inspired Easter basket.  I actually used her Minnie Mouse tutu that she had worn for her birthday for all the supplies.  It was just hanging in her closet, and I didn’t foresee her wearing it….plus we had several inches of snow on the ground and I wasn’t going anywhere to get tulle and ribbon.

Minnie Mouse Inspired Easter Basket:

Supplies:

*Basket

*Ribbon, tulle {cut into strips}

*Glue dots/hot glue

Directions:  

1.  Measure your ribbon to match the perimeter of the basket.  Using a glue dot, attach one end of the ribbon to a corner.

2.  Cut your tulle into 8 inch strips, or so.  Mine were quite a bit longer from her tutu, so I just snipped off the long ends as I was tying.

3.  Start tying the tulle on the ribbon you attached to the basket tutu style.    As you work your way around the basket, add a glue dot, or hot glue, to the basket edge.  I added mine in the center of each end, and on the sides as I got to them.

4.  When you’ve finished tying the tulle, add some bows to each side, or wherever you want them to go.

5.  Wrap the handle in coordinating ribbon {mine is wrapped in Minnie Mouse Ribbon}.

Done!  I love the transformation of this simple Dollar Tree basket into something my daughter loves!
