With so many bracelets and charms under our belts, we felt we were ready for a challenge.
We love the idea of a Rainbow Loom project that involves candy and chocolate – so we decided that Craft Life’s Easter Basket would be the perfect project to take on. (We knew our mom would have to fill it with chocolate for the photo shoot – and we would reap the rewards!)
We lost track of how many bands we used – and how many hours. Let’s just say it took us several days to complete it.
There’s Emily, looming away!
About half way into the project, our loom caved under the pressure and actually came apart. Luckily, our smart-as-a-whip dad came to our rescue. So did Martha Stewart!
If you are going to attempt this project, it is super helpful to have an extra loom on hand so you can make the base more secure as pictured above. Also, a few large books under the base makes it less flimsy.
This project was the most difficult one to date! Do not attempt it unless you have spent oodles of hours on your loom – or you are adept at crocheting.
One more tip: Use glow in the dark bands, instead of plain white ones.
Go here to watch Craft Life’s tutorial on making a Rainbow Loom Easter Basket.
Uber cool! I love the colors you did. They look great!
Woww that must of took a long time!!!
Loomlove your awesome and Happy Easter!!
It did take a long time
How do you know if it took long? You’re not them! Maybe they got really good at looming and it only took them 2 seconds. You don’t know because you weren’t at their house.
they said it took them several days
“We lost track of how many bands we used – and how many hours. Let’s just say it took us several days to complete it.”
OMG!!!!! SOOOOOOOOO cool!!!!
Amazing Easter basket!!!
By the way, Twister is actually me, I’ll be posting as “Texas” now all you “Twister” fans out there!!!
COOL!
About how big is it? Also, could you do this with one loom?
you could do it with one loom but it would be smaller
You guys must have so much patience to do something like that!!!!
I made the mini Easter basket, which took a long time. But my basket looks wimpy compared to yours. You guys are awesome!!!! 🙂
How many looms dose it take
Probably 2, so you can add an extra base.
Like they said, you can only use 1, but be ready to have to add another so it doesn’t collapse. All you have to do is read the whole post.
I really like this basket! I made one except a smaller one xD But this is AMAZING!
How did u make the little one
She has a smaller basket video, just go to the big video and there will somewhat be the video next to it
OMG i made this before you posted it and i was so dead after i made it cuz mine broke like two times and i did ten extra rows
Wow!!!!! I’m soooo making this! It’s awesome and usable!!
Awesome ????
Whoops I mean AWESOME!!
I know right it’s really Cool and I’m making the smaller version of it cause I only have one loom. Awesome job on the basket !!!
Where do you get all the stuff to make them because I live in Aussie and it was even hard to find the proper Rainbow loom so now I got rainbow bands and it’s the same but different (it’s not the bands it’s the loom) please help
I don’t understand.
So cool. I went to the link and watched the smaller basket video cause I only have one loom and it is looking cool. Love your website.
I’m going to attempt it today!!
I love it it is so awesome
i like your time laps video . do u run loomlove all from your house???
I made the mini easter basket by CraftLife 🙂 And awesome job, LoomLove 😀
How long did this take to make? It looks HARD!
Love the colors, too!
I’m going to make it!
I’ve adapted this to make a bag. It’s very good and well done on the basket it looks hard.
Ps thx for the idea
i wish if i had the rainbow loom.. :/ then i could make this.
Do you have at least the monster loom?
This looks awesome thanks loom love
Sara, right above the about option there is the rainbow loom supplies option if u click on that it takes u to a page were they get most of there cool rubber bands, the clips, hooks, looms, and loom cases. Or once I have money I’m going to have my dad order some rubber bands and possibly another loom off of eBay because u can get a loom on eBay for like $4 and thousands of rubber bands for like $5 or even just packs of clips for a $1, but your parents would have to have an eBay account. If u use eBay you can get supplies from all over the world and they would get shipped to u in a few days depending on were u were to order them from. Hope this helped u out! 🙂
awww, so cool! plz put up a video!!!!

How many looms does it take? Please answer.
Can u make a Easter Basket with your hands and u and so sweet me and my friends will be here and if u cannot make it out of your hands u can make it out of wonder loom.
Wow! That must take a really long time and lots of patience. Is there a video of it? I really want to make one!! My favorite one is the one that glows in the dark with the green and black!! I wish I could make one. I would use mine and my sisters but my sisters is broken! I love it!!!!!!!!!! I rate it 10/10!
where do you get the glow in the dark loom bands from? btw I live in Brisbane so where would be the closest place/shop to get them from??? please answer!
WOW! I wish I could make that! (Sadly I don’t have enough elastics…)
I don’t have enough looms to make this, but I luckily was able to make Craft Life’s small easter basket with one loom. (I don’t have enough elastics either, Lily)
AWSOME it must have took ages guys!
OMG !! How do you know what you are doing … That’s just AMAZING !!!! I wish I could do that but I have no where near enough. SO COOL . Keep Looming :):)
how can you do it!
Loving it! I have the bands and the clips but I don’t have the loom. 🙁 what a shame
So amazing,i made a smaller version of that easter basket and it took me 2 days but during that time you were able to make this amazing creation(the smaller one took me like 600 bands so this one must have TONS in it)
I Made It…. It took 3 weeks!! Nice Job! ?
Cool must have taken you hours.
I would think this takes long, looks amazing when done though. And I would be proud of my self if I made it:) Also I think this would be a awesome thing to sell in a little shop and stuff.
hi i love this easter basket i was wondering how many looms did u use?
How do you make it
that had to take you hours to do! that looks very complicated!!! great job! keep up the hard work!!!!! 😀
Whoever designed this is like, REALLY REALLY GOOD!! I couldn’t figure it out though. 🙁
i made it and it was soooo hard
🙂
looked fantastic when it was done, but the pic seemed much larger
LOL!
The more steps I do the higher my stacks of magazines get.
: )
Make craft life’s rainbow loom owl too!!!!!:)))
P.S. Love ur website
I tried it it was sooo hard later i caught my big brother on the loom he had made one too with a huge version of the easter bunny,he is awesome 😀
Amazing
Wish I could make it, just don’t have enough looms
I’ve made a phone case though
Where do you get glow in the dark bands from?
Hi Loom Love! I want to know where you get you glow in the dark white bands? The place I saw glow in the dark bands they didn’t glow. :/ I was not happy. Could you tell me what brand those actual glow in the dark bands are? I would really like that! Keep looming! XD
You could do a REALLY big one using 3 or 4 looms. Keep up the good work loomlove!
OK. I have a saying. Here it is: When life gets hard, buy a Rainbow Loom and get LOOMING!!!! Also my BFF came up with this: Keep Calm and Rainbow Loom on!!!! I think it is VERY TRUE… I say that to my self when I can’t do a bracelet. I will probably be saying that alot when I start this thang!
Hi Loom love, is the salior’s pinstripe harder or is the Easter basket harder?
EASTER BASKET!!!! The Sailor’s Pinstripe is actually pretty easy. The Easter basket, on the other hand…
How many packets of bands did you use? I chose the colours I want to use but I don’t know how much to use.
