{Easter Home Decor} Candy Dish Basket

Easter is a fun holiday to decorate for.  The array of pastel colors had so much cheer to a home.  I found the cutest wire and bead Easter basket that I thought was perfect for my own home decor!  I added chocolates to the basket to make it into a candy dish.  I finished the basket with a Bowdabra Bow using wide width wire ribbon and curling ribbon.

Materials Needed:

• Basket
• Candy
• Wide Width Ribbon
• Curling Ribbon
• Bowdabra
• Bowdabra Bow Wire

Instructions:

1. Begin by gathering all the materials you will need to make this basket.

3. Cut ribbon and dovetail the ends for the bows tails.  Fold the ribbon in half to make a crease and to find the center point.  At the crease mark press the ribbon into the Bowdabra.
