Start by painting all the wooden pieces using your favorite pastel color. I needed three coats of chalk paint to fully cover the bunny ornaments and wooden basket.

When the paint is dry, glue the bunny ornaments to each end of the wooden basket. I used my hot glue gun for this part of the craft, but you could also use wood glue or super glue to attach the bunnies.

When the glue is completely dry on each end of the basket, tie a piece of twine through the hole on one of the ornaments. Then, thread the beads onto the twine to create a handle.

After you’ve added enough beads to create the handle, thread the other end of the twine through the hole on top of the bunny ornament on the opposite side. Tie a bow on each end to finish decorating.
