The Basics: You'll need two pieces of heavy-weight double-sided (optional) card stock for the basket and ears, and scraps for the facial features and insides of the ears. I loved the clean, finished look it gave the inside by using a pretty double-sided cardstock. I used three 8" pieces of thin twine for the whiskers, knotted in the middle. The knot hides easily under the nose. You'll also need some really good white paper glue that dries clear for the reinforcement on the inside bottom piece and for the facial features. I used my ATG gun for most of the actual basket assembly. Use two regular brads for the handles - the size you get in the office supply store. You'll notice there are 2 ovals for the bottom of the basket. One is just slightly smaller and is to place on the inside bottom after you've attached the sides to the larger oval. The smaller piece covers the tabs on the inside and adds strength.
Jan, this one's especially for you and dedicated to your grandson. Maybe you can make one for him and give him some special Easter hugs and kisses for me!

LOL I love this basket and the pun (but I love puns, see my Time Flies card on my blog). The details are marvelous with the bunny ears making the handle. TFS : )
Thank you so much for this Freebie. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in Creative Busy Hands Cricut Freebies Search List, under the Elements post on Feb. 24, 2010. Thanks again.
Cindy he is so so cute! thank you for sharing him :))))
This came out great, Cindy. He is so cute and I think it would make a great coffeetable centerpiece. Your brain just doesn't stop does it?
this is the cutest project! thanks so much, cindy!
Cute project. I have visited your tutorial page and looked at each of them tonight. Although I have had Photo Shop Elements 7 for over a year, I just loaded it on my computer this week. The tutorials will be a tremendous help to me. I am definitely new to the digital scrapping experience but have been a traditional paper scrapper for years. Thanks so much for making the tutorials and I look forward to seeing more.
This is just the CUTEST basket ever! Now this one I'm going to have to try! It's adorable and I have so many terminally ill children I visit that to fill this up and give to them would just bring smiles to their faces. Thanks so much! You seem to just brighten my days!
P.S. Still working on my photo letters, but not making much progress -- don't understand some of the photo "lingo". But I always say, "nothing beats a failure but a try", so I'm going to keep trying -- LOL!
Awesome! Thanks for the cut file. I downloaded one for my GypsyGirl! :)
So cute..will have to look for good paper.

Adorable............Thank You So Much FS!
Just found your blog and I'm lovin' it! Cute bunny baskets. Thanks for sharing! Also, I read your profile - I have a Lulu and a Roxy too! Lulu is a 10 year old lab/great dane mix and Roxy, our newest member, is a border collie/lab mix. Tooo funny!
I made 7 of these baskets for Easter. I absolutely love them. Unfortunately, I only took a picture of one of them. I made a few slight changes. I didn't have any twine so I went old school and used pipe cleaners. It made the nose a little tougher but I think it worked out OK. I also used a very masculine paper for 2 and they looked great.
I don't know how to post the picture here so I'll post it over on the cricut MB. I'll be sure to list it as one of your designs.
Thank you for your wonderful designs.
