Spring always brings with it many bright and joyful holidays, including the feast of the resurrection of our Almighty Jesus Christ, the feast of Easter. This is one of the greatest church holidays, on the day of which, actually many centuries ago, the resurrection of the Lord God took place. Well, there are some of their own customs and traditions of this holiday. People exchange colored eggs, baked Easter cakes, souvenirs and much more with each other. This is a big and bright holiday, so you can give each other what your soul desires. Here you can even take the same puppies, you just can’t hand them over, but you need to somehow present them beautifully in the original packaging, here you can use the informative master class, turn on your imagination and make beautiful egg baskets using the scrapbooking technique. It will look great and it’s nice to give it.
For the master class we need to take:
• Burgundy-purple sheet of cardboard;
• Scheme of the basket;
• Scrapbook paper measuring 15 * 15 cm in pink;
• The inscription "Congratulations";
• Curb hole punch;
• Ribbon rep pink in flower;
• Red sisal;
• God's box;
• Pink ribbon with pompons;
• Cutting down two green leaves;
• Paper flowers of hydrangea 25 mm in diameter;
• Two white-pink paper forget-me-not flowers;
• Paper small butterflies;
• Pencil, scissors, glue stick, ruler, double-sided tape, thermal gun.

The first thing we need and where to start is to cut the base of the basket from the burgundy-purple cardboard according to the pattern.

First, we need to cut a square 16 * 16 cm and a strip for the handle 3.5 * 18 cm. Now we divide the large square into three parts from all sides and draw the bending lines where necessary.

Cut out the prepared base. We scribble and ponytails, on which we will glue and collect the basket.

The handle on both sides must be passed with a curb punch. You also need to punch strips, which will then decorate the scrap of the workpiece.

We take the scrapbook paper and from it we need to cut out the rectangles for external decoration.

One strip 1.6 * 15 cm in size, four rectangles 5.5 * 4.5 cm. We glue the strip on the handle. On the rectangles, now on one side we glue openwork strips, which are made of cardboard.

All prepared, now all these four rectangles are glued with pieces of double-sided tape to the base. Glue on the handle and the inscription "Congratulations."

We flash the pen and then the inscription. Also sew on each edge of the basket. Now with the help of a glue stick we collect the basket, for this we smear the tails and glue the basket. We also glue the handle. Now we will decorate. We twist the sisal into a bundle and put on the bottom of the basket, on the edges and on the handle we glue butterflies and a ladybug. On a circle of the whole basket we glue a rep ribbon, and on both sides a ribbon with pompons. On both sides we glue and leaflets with flowers.
