our little family easter basket

this is my first easter as a mama, so i made an executive decision that EG needed an easter basket.  i'm fully aware that the likelihood of EG remembering her first easter is incredibly slim, so i'm considering this a practice round. next year, i'll know (theoretically) where to go, when to buy, when to craft, all those critical easter basket insider secrets. 

after spending way too much time on the basket aisle, i landed on this one. simple and sweet.  target had a great selection of every style of easter basket imaginable, but i decided to pass on the bright pink bunny face this year. 

bub-hub is a pretty good sport when it comes to my holiday antics, but i knew he would die if i got him a whole basket on his own, so this year, i decided on a family basket! :) 

here is what i, i mean the easter bunny, was able to cram in the basket:

for the bub-hub
goldfish
gummy bunnies

for the baby girl
bunny ears
a floppy sunhat
stuffed ducky
fluffy bunny tail
pink bubbles
rubber bunny ducky
lady bug bib

for me
starburst jelly beans. which may or may not have been gone within the hour.
and let's just be honest. the bunny ears and fluffy tail are really for me.

what are you hoping to find in your easter basket??

DIY Fluffy Bunny Tail // Our Little Family DIY

today, i'm excited to share another easter tutorial.  these fluffy bunny tails are perfect last minute additions to easter baskets, bunny costumes, or maybe even your easter brunch table setting! 

and did i mention they cost less than $1 to make. #winnerwinner

first, cut a rectangular piece of felt, about 1/2 inch x 1 inch for each pom.  place the piece of felt between the prongs of the alligator clip.  i used hot glue to attach the clip to the pom, mostly because it dries quickly and i'm impatient, but if you prefer a different type of adhesive, i'm sure that would work just fine!

the hardest part of this little project is getting the felt to stick on the fluffy pom.  once you get it on there, you might need to reinforce it near the top and bottom, but it just depends on how floppy your pom is. 

i plan on attaching this to the back of eg's baby jorts. there are also plans for bunny ears. if pinning fluffy bunny tails on my baby girl is wrong, i don't want to be right.

here it goes,,,,an attempt at a little easter bunny headband tutorial. :)

all for about a $1. can't beat that!

all you need for this little diddy is felt, glue, scissors and an alligator clip!

recently, i've been having a little too much fun with felt.  but is there such a thing? i haven't splurged on the good stuff yet...i stick with the 4/$1 sheets at hobby lobby.  i used white, navy and bright pink. and i'm not sure if hot glue is the best adhesive for this type of project, but it's what i have, and it gets the job done, so winner! :)

all you have to do is cut, glue and then glue some more.  easy right?
