Papercrafts - Easter Baskets

Hi from Jakey

Just a quick and simple post today, with a few links for some downloadable/printable basket templates.  I’m sure many of you are thinking ahead to Easter and planning small gifts for the kiddies, friends and family and little baskets such as these can be filled with sweets, small toys, chocolate eggs or other tiny gifts.

Some of you may know that I work with the elderly and buying gifts for all my resi’s on seasonal occasions is quite beyond my purse, however, we enjoy making things together – especially if it involves a treat for them!

These little baskets we made today were a great hit, and very quick and simple to create - even for hands which are less dextrous than they once were.

If you work with a group... brownies, cubs, after school club, or indeed in a care home, you may find these sites useful:

Some of the baskets appear to be designed for other occasions – just get altering!
