Here is a fun way to bling up a plain plastic bowl. The bowls were $1 at Target. The varigated yarn is in pretty Easter colors and can be purchased at Michaels.
I used my Crop-a-dile to punch 3/16" holes all around the bowl This bowl had ridges. I punched a hole at each ridge and a hole between each ridge. This way they were evenly spaced out. It ended up I had 60 holes around my bowl each about 1/2" apart.
I created my own lace crochet pattern. I'm not a crochet pattern writter but I will describe it the best I can.
I used a size G crochet hook because that was the largest hook I had that would still fit through the holes.
As I went around the bowl the first time through each of the holes in the bowl, I did a single crochet and a chain 1.
The second row around I did a single, double, single in every other chain 1 space. In the alternate chain 1 spaces I did just a single crochet.
On the thrid round, in every other single space I did 5 double crochet stitches to make a scallop. I attached each side of the scallop down with a single crochet.
On the fourth and final round, I did a chain 4 then a single crochet into every other stitch around the entire bowl.
There are 6 ladies in my crochet group so I've got 6 little bunnies in the bowl. I'm thinking they will enjoy seeing what I created all on my own.
I'd love to see what Easter creations you are working on. Please leave me a comment so I can see your work.
Blessings,
Nancy

Nancy I am going to make this basket today. I have the right bowl and thread already here. I am doing decoupage fabric flowers on some gourds I have and made my first quilting attempt out of the same material. I don't remember which date post, but I will put a picture on my side bar. Thanks for the great idea. Blessed Easter to you and yours.
