Step 2
Download the Easter Basket Project Pattern. You will use the large square, small square, small hexagon, and butterfly pegboards to create your project. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place your beads following the pattern.

Step 3
Ask an adult to fuse your designs. Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface. Set a household iron to the medium setting. Place ironing paper over the pegboard. In a circular motion, begin to iron the project. When ironed properly, the beads will still have open centers. Let the design cool.

Step 4
Remove the paper and bead design from the pegboard. Flip the design over to expose the non-fused side. Repeat step two. Let cool completely. Once the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Your pegboards and ironing paper are reusable.

Note: Beads need heat for about 10-20 seconds per side to fuse evenly. Lift the paper occasionally to see how the beads are fusing. Additional heating time may be required.

Step 5
ASSEMBLY:Basket: Glue the buds to the basket as shown. Insert the block of oasis foam, and fill the rest of the basket with Easter grass.

Step 6
Bunny: Glue wiggle eyes in place and tie a bow around the bunny's neck with a pink chenille stem.

Step 7
Flowers: Insert a lime chenille stem through a lower hole of each tulip to create a flower stem. Insert a lime chenille stem through the center of each daisy, making a small loop for decoration at the flower center. Insert the flower stems into the oasis foam block and arrange as desired.

Step 8
Position the bunny and eggs with chick in the basket.
