Easter Bonnet Turned into Easter Basket for $2
I love Easter baskets but I don’t like spending a lot of money on them. I have wanted to try fabric stiffener for a while and this is the perfect project for that.
I was shopping at Target in their $1 section and saw all the bonnets. They are so cute but my girls will not wear them. I tipped it up and thought what a great basket. Continue reading
