Creative Card Crew - Recycle something Challenge

I was unsure what I was going to create for this challenge but then I got the idea for an Easter bag/basket.  I wanted to make a small Easter basket to put bunny trail clues in for the kids.  The bunny makes the kids find their hidden Easter baskets each year.  He leaves clues around the house.  :)  The kids enjoy this so much.  So this year I thought it would be fun for the bunny to put the first clue in these little baskets/bags.

I used this box from a great burn lotion to make my Easter basket/bag.

First,  I cut the box in half and covered it with cardstock then added green felt grass.  The grass was made with the Martha Stewart grass border punch.  Love this punch.  I used the "Easter basket Ian" digi from The Greeting Farm as my image on the bag along with some Easter egg die cuts from Quickutz.


Then I used the new Lifestyle Crafts insert page die from the folder with insert die for the clue page.  The bunny image on the page is from Whimsie Doodles.  I used brads to hold the handle on and allow it to move back and forth.


They turned out pretty cute don't you think?  What special things do you make for Easter?
