A different way to present eggs, sweets or chocolates at Easter or on birthdays: a pretty hexagon bowl with six pockets for eggs, decorated with ribbon bows. The central part is about 12 cm (4.7 inches) across, so you can even put a small cake in the middle.
Make it in different colours and yarns and use it all year round: for little treats, for cotton buds and cotton balls in a baby’s room, for hair clips and trinkets, or for a watch, wallet and coins on the dresser. A lovely gift with a big Easter egg in the middle.
