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.
