Easter Basket Craft for the Kids!
Posted Wednesday, April 08, 2009
Well I just realized that Friday is a no school day. Oh no what to do with the kids? Well I found this great craft today on http://www.familyfun.com/ on how to make a cute Easter Egg Basket.
Here is what you need:
Basket template (see Step 1)
Poster board square, 11 by 11 inches (for the base around which you weave the fabric)
Pencil
Scissors
Dyed T-shirt strips- I personally will use yarn with my 4 year old to do this
Tacky glue
1. print out the Easter basket template.
http://familyfun.go.com/
2. Trace the template onto the poster board square and cut it out.
3. Tie a knot at the end of 1 fabric strip and pull the knot between 2 panels of the base (B).
4. Weave the strip alternately over and under the panels (B and C). Glue the unknotted end of the fabric strip to the base.
5. Knot the end of each new strip and tuck the knot under an unglued section of a previously woven strip. After 3 or 4 strips are completed, gently fold the basket panels up so they begin coming together (C) to form a widemouthed basket (D). Tip: Don't squeeze the sides in too tightly as you work, or the basket will become too narrow at the top.
6. If necessary, use a dab or two of tacky glue to secure the fabric to the poster board, especially around the top. Let it dry.
7. Trim any excess poster board at the top, making sure there's still enough to support the topmost fabric strip. 8. Line the basket with straw or grass. Add eggs!
Here is the link which shows pictures on the steps:

EtsyKids Spring Egg-stravaganza: April 2-4!
Posted Sunday, March 29, 2009
Thursday, April 2nd – Saturday, April 4th, join EtsyKids for a Spring Egg-stravaganza celebration! EtsyKids member shops will be giving away some fabulous prizes, from bibs, to blankets, to books, and lots, lots more!
Here’s how to play:
Each day the EtsyKids blog will contain a post showing an image that’s hidden in an item listing on a few different EtsyKids team members’ shops, along with a clue on how to find it. When a contestant finds just one of the hidden images, they send an Etsy conversation to the day’s entry collector with a link to the listing where they found it. Once their conversation is received, they’ll be entered into a drawing for an amazing EtsyKids prize.
Participants may use one of two methods to find the images:
1. Begin by looking at each of the 7,000+ EtsyKids listings, or
2. Decipher the clue to the keyword to narrow down the listings to under 100.
The clues are word association to the keyword. After you think you have the keyword, enter that word and "etsykids team" into Etsy's search, and start looking!
Example: Spring time holiday...........Easter
Thus, you would enter "easter etsykids team" to narrow down the listings to hunt through. The clues start out easy, and they get harder!
Please do not post the answers anywhere - all answers will be revealed at the end of the game.
The Etsykids blog will also let contestants know who to contact to enter, as well as the prize(s) that will be awarded that day. The number of prizes will vary each day and the winners will be selected at random.
***Contestants can enter once each day.
Within 24 hours of winning, the lucky winners will be contacted via Etsy Conversation, and MUST contact (via Etsy Conversation) the prize donor with their mailing address within 2 days of being contacted. If they fail to contact the prize donor within the given time, a new winner will be selected.
