A Big Mini-Happy Easter!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter weekend!
To celebrate Easter I decided to make some very quick mini-Easter baskets with chocolate bunnies.
I had already made the chocolate Easter bunnies from polymer clay using some molds, and I just made these two baskets this weekend! I got the idea of making my own weaved baskets after watching a YouTube video by MsMiniLover, because I didn't have any baskets of my own here in Korea. This is the first time I have ever done any type of weaving project.
The chocolate bunnies were made from Kato clay and I used molds that I had purchased from a lady in the States. Today, I painted on some details (eyes, ears and flowers) using a toothpick and then glazed with Triple Thick to not only give it a shine, but to protect it from wear and tear.
The weaved baskets were made from index card paper and then painted. Here is a photo of the circle one. Although it was fairly straightforward and somewhat easy, it did require lots of patience! I did make a few mistakes on the weaving, but let's hope you don't notice!
As you can see in the photo above and below, I also put some folded thin strips of paper in the green basket. For the pink basket, I just put in a cotton ball.
Here are some more pictures of the Easter goodies.

| The painted details on these bunnies' ears were done before I decided to change them to a darker pink. |

| This Easter bunny is a bit too big for this basket and was only put in for display purposes. I would normally make some type of packaging such as a box with a clear plastic window like the ones you would buy in a store. |

Take care and stay tuned for future mini posts!
