Maybe I should have majored in basket weaving, because I’ve become a down with a chronic case of basketmakingitis. Primary symptom: sufferers attempt to turn any and everything into a basket. Yep. I’ve got it. Bad.

How about you? Are you making baskets this year? If you are, consider yourself lucky…you’ve just stumbled on a goldmine. The sort of goldmine that has exactly zero gold but tons of baskets. A basketmine.

To get started with my handmade basket projects, I’m combining my love of basket making with another love of mine: cupcakes.

NOTE: To create a basket from the mini cupcake wrapper die, use the largest flower from Build-a-Flower die collection in place of the doily.

Now for the yummy part!

Of course, you could create these little baskets and fill them with traditional Easter candy. I, however,  opted for the cupcake route. I added green frosting to the tops to mimic grass and added a banner flag topper along with a springtime-y flower. Almost too cute to eat, right? Almost. Those cupcakes definitely got ate up.

    1. Hey Janet! These were definitely sweet and I enjoyed every bite! Thanks for being such an awesome Damask Love reader and loyal commenter. You are so appreciated!

  2. I love handmade baskets, but I don’t think they are a good idea for cupcake wrappers. They’re too floppy and not strong enough. Just have a look for buying psychedelics online to get updated with market. I think it would be better if you used a cupcake wrapper as the base of your basket, then put some sort of wood on top of that to make it more sturdy.

  3. Hygiene is also important for preventing skin issues. Make sure to wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face as much as possible. You can use vitamin e cleanse your makeup brushes and other tools regularly, and avoid sharing them with others. Additionally, be sure to change your pillowcases frequently to avoid spreading bacteria and oil from your face to your bedding.
