Yes, that's right, it's a recycled oatmeal container from Starbuck's.
Mr. Bunny needed a basket, and it needed to bunny-sized, and this container fit the bill.
To give it shape I wrapped it with quilting fleece and tied it with yarn:
Then pulled the bottom together and basted it:
then rolled the top of the fabric over the lip and sewed it right through the cardboard (it was pretty easy to pierce).
I wrapped a fabric around the bottom, tacked it in place, then lined the inside of it with the discarded silk purse from one of my Easter Bunny's outfits. I also used the discarded trim from the waist of one of the bunny's skirts to wrap around it.
Florist wire and a ribbon sleeve to make a basket handle:
Here's what it looks like with the handle attached:
Instead of filling his basket with eggs, I decided it would be cute to fill it with peeps. After all, he is a farmer bunny:
