Fun with Fabric Buckets

I am posting this a tad early for those of you that are already thinking of Easter projects.  If you machine sew, even a little, these fabric buckets are easy to make and can be SO adorable!  Check out the fabric buckets I made for my kiddos.

Our Easter Baskets...

Fabric Buckets, made in to Bunny Easter Baskets
A handmade label inside each bucket

I chose different lining fabrics for each
Can't forget to mention the fluffy tail!  Notice the handles hanging on the bucket on the left side.  I placed these behind the ears, but they are hard to see since I tucked them inside the buckets for the photos.

Why stop at Easter!  I thought these would be perfect for Halloween buckets as well.

I embroidered "Trick-or-Treat" onto each.   I made different handles on these, as you'll see in the images below.

Notice the beads added to the embroidery.

Hard to see in this image, but I used a somewhat sparkly, black trim around the top.
I also first wrote "Trick-or-Treat" with a silver Sharpie marker.

You can see the label inside.  On each, I wrote the saying "Trick-or-Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" as well as the children's name and "Love, Mommy".. of course!

Ready to make your own?  I promise you, these are so much easier than you'd expect them to be, and the possibilities are endless.

My inspiration came from...
