Easy Felt Easter Basket

**UPDATE: Super thank you to everyone who entered our giveaway! The winner is # 2, Jessica, who said "My favorite Easter tradition is sitting down for a nice easter meal with my family. Everyone dressed in their Easter best. Love it!" Thanks Jessica! We'll be in touch via email soon!

Does your doll still need an Easter basket? With just some felt scraps and a little hand-sewing know-how, it's easy to whip up one of these little baskets. 

I'm using embroidery floss, two colors of felt, and some fun narrow ribbon. 

Start by cutting two circles out of felt: a big one about 4 1/2" across, and a smaller one for the base of the basket, about 1 1/2" across. Stack the two circles on top of each other, making sure to center them, and sew them together with a running stitch. 

Cut some wedges out of the big circle! Try to keep them all about the same size.

Next, whipstitch the slits closed, to make the sides of the basket. 

Sew on a ribbon handle (I made this one by braiding some narrow ribbon, but you could just as easily use a single ribbon.)

Finally, fill your new basket with some fun Easter goodies, and give it to your doll!

Now: would you like to win this Easter basket, instead of having to make it? How cool would that be?

To enter, just leave a comment on this post, finishing this sentence: "My favorite Easter tradition is..."

Thanks, and have fun crafting and entering!
