Lighted Easter Basket

Hi all,
I know its been a while since I have posted, between spring break and family things its been very busy. I sometimes wonder where time goes... speaking of time Easter is right around the corner. I remember when I was little I loved Easter Baskets all shapes, sizes and colors. I love Easter time because it's like everything in world is reborn, fresh, crisp and colorful. Trees, grass, and flowers are all beginning a new year it's so pretty. The posting for today is an idea I've had for awhile I thought it would pretty cool and I've never seen anyone make one before. So my idea sprang from taking a large flower pot and turning it into an Easter Basket. This project only took me an hour. I purchased the tulle from Hobby Lobby they have an awesome color choice. The pictures below will note where I purchased my supplies. So if you want to recreate this project you can, the only thing I ask is that you please reference my blog.
Here you go -

Supplies on the left are a wire coat hanger shaped into a handle with tulle braided around it with wire to wrap around the hanger through the tulle and twisted to hold firm.

Supplies were bought from JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby. JoAnn's -flowers; Hobby Lobby the fake grass, pin wheels, and lighted eggs.
