Things you will need:
An Easter Basket of your Choice ( we used this basket and made the handle with paper twist)
1 Hank – Yellow Loopy Chenille
1 Hank – Orange Loopy Chenille
1 – 4″ Styrofoam Ball
2 – 20mm Googly Eyes
1 – Craft Stick
Yellow Marabou Feathers
Floral U Pins
Hot Glue Gun
Hot Glue Sticks
Ribbon and Flowers of Your Choice

Things to Do:
1. To make the the basket’s handle, cut about 19″ of paper twist and braid together. *** This is what we did for our basket. If you have your own basket, skip this step.
2. To begin your loopy chenille ducky basket, work the craft stick through the weave of your basket on one side of the basket and secure with hot glue.
3. Take your styrofoam ball and push onto the other end of the craft stick. Secure with some hot glue.
4. Wrap the styrofoam ball with the yellow loopy chenille until covered. Secure the loopy chenille with floral pins and hot glue.
5. Cut two-20″ strips of yellow loopy chenille. Fold the loopy chenille strips in half and glue to the outside of the basket under the head. Wrap the arms around the basket and bend the ends so that your ducky is holding onto the basket. Glue the arms to the basket with hot glue.
6. Cut a 7″ strip of yellow loopy chenille. Wind the loopy chenille in a ball and glue under the ducky’s arms for a tail.
7. Cut two – 8″ strips of orange loopy chenille. Form two oval shapes with the orange loopy chenille strips, then flatten one side of each oval shape and glue onto the ducky’s head to make his bill. Add floral pins for extra security.
8. Cut two – 18″ strips of orange loopy chenille. Fold each strip into three toes. Each toe should be about 6″ each. Place the feet at the opposite side of the head, glue the feet onto the basket with hot glue.
9. Glue the googly eyes onto the ducky’s head. Place and glue yellow feathers as desired.
10. Finally, adorn your basket with desired ribbons or flowers and fill the basket with your treats!
