Personalized Easter Basket

What’s Easter without an egg hunt?  I can’t wait to watch my little one running around collecting eggs. I wanted to make sure his basket was easy to spot during all the excitement of the hunt so I personalized it using adhesive vinyl.

Picking a design was the hardest part since there are so many adorable Easter designs to choose from in the Silhouette Design Store. I couldn’t resist this playful bunny and thought it would be fun to have him peeking through the grass. I used the knife tool to separate and remove the area of grass he would sit in.

I made a few more adjustments to the grass by lengthening the bottom of the design so I could fit text in that space. Then I edited The two bottom corners of the design so that they would be slightly lower than the middle. Creating this curve helps the bottom of the grass look even on the curved surface of the metal bucket.

After all the designs were cut I used transfer paper to adhere the vinyl to the bucket and I was all done.

Since it is one of a kind there will be no confusion with whose Easter basket this is. I like the idea of being able to use it year after year, something you can’t do with those flimsy wooden and plastic baskets. Do you have plans to decorate Easter baskets with your Silhouette?
