Who needs 30 of those?.
The Creek Line House, repairing relationships between appliances and their owners since 2013!Hello hello, everyone!I’ve been in a big-time Easter decorating mood this year so here’s another ridiculously simple idea for ya.. At the start of the Easter decorating season (you know, when they catalogues come out and get you thinking about this stuff), I once again remembered how much I love those big fancy Easter baskets you can get from some places like Pottery Barn Kids and the fabric liners that you can get to go with them.
I give them a good stare-down every year and this year was no different.I almost ALMOST actually went ahead and bought one this year, but then I remembered who I was and that coming up with practically free solutions to these things is kinda what I do..I remembered that I have this giant Easter basket already that I picked up at a thrift store a few years ago for $3.
It was a little orangey so I white-washed it with a mixture of Light Antique White Crafter’s Acrylic (DecoArt) and water..I love the kinda French country look it gives the basket.
Then I realized that all those fabric basket liners are is a big oval of fabric with some ties.
And I could probably manage something to that extent on my own.. Now, this is not a no-sew project, because that would mean that I was making a basket liner exactly the same way as the “real” ones, but without sewing.I’m really in love with this cookie dough because it’s so quick to make, easy to work with, and not sticky at all!
I should note that each time I try a new variation on this recipe, I always try it with different brands, which.all seem to have slightly different product sizes.
Don’t worry too much if your box of cake mix or pudding mix isn’t exactly the same weight as the ones that I used, because it really doesn’t seem to matter much!I just use whatever box is easiest to find on the shelf, or on sale, or whatever.
