Mom's Yo-Yo Easter Basket Card


Oval Yo-Yo Easter Basket Card
Each year I struggle to come up with a new idea for my mom's Easter card.  Last year I believe I made Easter eggs out of the oval yo-yo maker and the year before was  a bunny head using the large yo-yo maker for the head and the large oval yo-yo maker for the ears. This year I wanted it to be different again so I kept playing with the layout of the yo-yo's until the basket idea came to me.  Using my large Clover oval yo-yo maker I selected a brown print fabric to make the basket. It took me a couple of tries to come up with the handle idea but I really like the finished gathered fabric handle. With the addition of some paper grass and egg stickers the Easter basket really came together. Then while going through my supply of stickers I found some multicolored alpahabet letters and knew they would be perfect for my Happy Easter greeting.

Happy Easter everyone!
