Spring is upon us and so are all the festive holidays of the season. With Easter right around the corner, I wanted to share my scrap fabric Easter basket tutorial that’s easy, fast and fun for kids to try. Using a few scrap materials, you can whip up this scrap fabric Easter basket in no time. If the kids are interested, it’s a great craft to teach dexterity, pattern and patience!

Here’s what you need to make your own scrap fabric Easter basket:

Cotton material ripped into 1″ wide strips. Your strips can be as long or as short as you like. I used 4 yard long strips to make my little Easter basket shown here. You could double the strips to make a larger basket big enough for an Easter bunny, some candies and a book for Easter morning.
1-2 yards of jute rope or cotton cording. I had a bunch of this brown jute rope left over from a Valentine’s Day project that was the perfect gauge or diameter for this craft. A clothesline works great for this too.

Easter Ribbon Wreath

April 3, 2014 By Shannah Coe 6 Comments

Our front door is usually the first place you catch a glimpse of an upcoming holiday or new season. So far this year, I have been a little slow to get a new wreath up. My goal for Easter was to get a new wreath up before April 1st and I just barely made that goal. My Easter ribbon wreath was finished on March 31st and I put it out on the morning of the 1st. Score!

March 19, 2013 By Shannah 1 Comment

“Hello Just Us Four fans. I am Eva Stephen; today’s guest at Just Us Four. So kind of Shannah who lent me space on her wonderful blog. The bright sunlight, refreshing colored flowers everywhere, and birds’ chirp has already announced the arrival of spring and Easter being the first celebration of summer provokes us to just get out of the blankets, greet Spring and have some fun. I wish you all a very happy and revitalizing Spring.”

Regardless of the fact that it happens every year, I still expect each spring with immense delight and impatience, because it never fails to dispel the winter’s blues and bring happiness to my home.

Now, my home is pretty happy as it is, so you can imagine what happens in spring. Just like my heart is bursting with bubbles of joy, my home bursting with colour, cheerful details and fresh, newly bought furniture; sometimes something very small, sometimes huge – like a TV set – depending on my budget at the time. Did you check the new furniture collection at Shop4furniture.net? If not, just do it. It is something not to be missed to welcome
Spring and Summer with zeal.

I love to adorn my home with flowers and refreshing colours and I’m all set for the rebirth of nature and life.

Egg-i-licious Wreath for Easter

March 19, 2012 By Shannah 24 Comments

My wreath obsession is no secret around here. I can point you to several examples {like here, here, and here} where I have made multiple wreaths in a short time period. Mathlete actually complains that he always comes home to a new wreath. This one last went up yesterday after our St. Patrick’s Day wreath came down and I actually plan to leave it up for a few weeks until Easter comes. {Shocker, I know}
Take a look at my wreath for Easter:
