Easter Egg Drawstring Bags

I just finished these felt Easter Egg Drawstring Bags for my little cousins Lauren and Melanie. A handmade and reusable alternative to traditional plastic Easter baskets that was also inexpensive. I had fun choosing the ribbon colors and it was a simple project. More practice on the sewing machine... one of these days I might attempt something slightly difficult!

The bags are filled with little trinkets from Wishing Well in colors complimenting the ribbon colors (yellows and greens for the green bag, pinks and purples for the purple bag.) Before I present these to the girls I'll have to include some organic chocolate and jelly beans from Trader Joe's for a little extra sweetness.

My mom spent some time with me and Mason on Wednesday and after venturing out to the back yard she came in with a few beautiful Calla Lillies, a Bird of Paradise, and select greenery to make the cheery bouquet pictured above. Spying some glass Easter eggs on my dining room table, she transformed the arrangement into a gorgeous Spring center piece. Thanks Mom!
