Tutorial: Braided fabric Easter basket

We all have those fabrics in our stash that leave us scratching our heads, wondering, “Why did I buy this?” Or perhaps you’ve been gifted fabric and just aren’t sure how to use it. Either way, don’t let those leftover or unused fabrics go to waste! Instead of letting them sit in your drawer, why not transform them into a beautiful, upcycled braided fabric basket? Not only is it a fantastic way to make use of those unwanted fabrics, but it also gives you a unique, handmade piece that’s perfect for Easter or can be used year-round for storage, organization, or decor!

Danielle from DIY Danielle has a wonderful, easy-to-follow tutorial that shows you exactly how to make this charming braided fabric basket. It’s a simple project, but the results are so rewarding, and you can customize it to fit any color scheme or style. This is a perfect solution to that leftover fabric pile you’ve been wondering what to do with, as it allows you to be both creative and eco-friendly by repurposing fabric into something practical and beautiful.

Whether you’re making it to hold Easter treats, store small items around the house, or even gift it to a friend, this upcycled fabric basket is sure to become a treasured item. Plus, it’s a great way to dive into a craft project that doesn’t require a ton of time or expensive materials. All you need is some fabric, a bit of creativity, and a few simple steps to create a basket that will be both functional and stylish.

Click below for Danielle’s full tutorial and learn how to turn your leftover fabrics into a stunning Easter basket or an everyday treasure!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
