Easter is just around the corner, and it's the perfect time to start putting together those special Easter baskets for your loved ones. Why settle for the standard store-bought basket when you can add a personal touch that really makes someone really feel cherished? We're excited to share not one but two crafty projects that will elevate your Easter basket game to a whole new level.

First up, we have a fantastic tutorial on how to create your own stamped linen Easter basket liners. Using the versatile IOD Pastiche Stamp and our vibrant IOD New Grass Ink, we'll guide you through the process of creating a beautiful composition. With a creative mix of cloches and cages stamps to frame the corners and charming elements like birds and moths stamped inside, you'll end up with a beautifully stamped liner. We'll cap it off with a lovely overall pattern in the center, achieved with multiple stamps and our handy IOD thin mount.

IOD Products Needed:

• IOD Pastiche Stamp Set
• Thin Mount
• IOD New Grass Ink

Other Supplies:

• Cotton Linen Blend Napkins

But why stop there? Take personalization a step further with our second project: a custom Easter basket name tag. Using a flat wooden egg, we’ll stamp the name "Ruby" using our Apothecary Labels Stamp and then beautifully embellish it with flower accents from our Petite Fleur Pink Paint Inlay.

IOD Products Needed:

• IOD Petite Fleur Pink Inlay
• IOD Apothecary Labels Stamps

Other Supplies:

• Brayer (Optional)
• Water Mister
• Wooden Egg Tags
• Small metal eyelets
• Robins Egg Blue Paint*
• Soft Pink Paint*
• Sealer

*we used a chalk-type paint in this tutorial, but there are many brands and types of paint, talk to your stockist to learn which one is right for you!

What we love about both these projects is that they can be keepsakes reused year after year, becoming something to look forward to seeing once a year on Easter.

Alright, let’s make this Easter one to remember! Grab your IOD products and supplies by using the store locator and finding a stockist near you.
