These are really cute. They remind me of the Christmas tree decorations. I think they are very festive but I can see all the contents at our house all over the floor for a lack of opportunity to set these down.

These vintage easter cones are too cute to give to the children as Easter baskets. None the less, the directions can be altered to be made into a project to complete with young children. I certainly love the idea of the cone and the use of a brown paper bag.

These are so very pretty. I think this would be a great project for a group of children to make for neighbors, shut-ins or elderly residents of senior housing or residential care. Anyone should be able to make these. A groups of elders could have a great time making them for a craft project that brings memories of their childhood days. It's a great pattern for a May basket too? If you don't have a printer there are certainly tons of beautiful scrapbook papers and decorative die-cuts and stickers on the market. How cute would one of these be with a tiny stuffed animal tucked inside with treats. What would you do?
