I went to the dollar tree in search of a plastic bin, bucket or pail, not necessarily an Easter one, but one I could dress up and I found this:
They had them in blue, green, purple, and pink. I immediately went for the blue knowing I had some orange ribbon to dress it up, my husband is a big Tennessee Vols fan so I thought he would appreciate the orange.
I whipped out the glue gun and glued ribbon around the handle and around the bottom of the pail. I used my Cricut and the Don Juan cartridge to cut the letters of Grant's name out at 1 inch, then glued those to the pail as well. I showed my husband the finished pail all excited because I thought it was cute and he hesitated when I asked him what he thought. Of course once again he thought what I made looked a little girly due to the polka dots on the ribbon. Maybe it does but Grant is 5 months old I think cute little polka dots are allowed at his age. Either way I think the pail is adorable and will be perfect for his first Easter, and who can complain with a $1 Easter basket. Maybe next year I'll come up with a more "manly" basket, do they even make those in pastel colors? haha.
