These strips will serve as the “woven” portion of your basket. You can use whatever colors you’d like for your basket! Pastels are great for Easter baskets, like lavender, light green, or peach.
Four of these white strips will provide structure for your basket, while the fifth strip will serve as the basket’s handle.
For instance, place your strips in this order: pink, blue, pink, blue.
Each horizontal strip will alternate. For instance, your first pink strip will go under the first vertical blue strip, over the first vertical pink strip, under the second vertical blue strip, and over the second vertical pink strip. The second strip will go over the first vertical blue strip, under the first vertical pink strip, and so on. Your strips will vaguely resemble the bottom of a woven basket.
These strips will serve as the side of the basket.
You’ll need 4 square sections of white paper to finish your basket.
All neighboring strips should have alternative weaving patterns. For instance, if your blue strips are going over and under the white strips of paper, the pink strips need to go under and over.
This helps your basket look polished and uniform.
Since the basket is made of paper, don’t put anything really heavy in it. When finished this basket will be about 4 by 4 by 4 in (10 by 10 by 10 cm).
You can also glue individual pom-poms along the edge of your basket. Get creative with other decorations, like rhinestones, sequins, and decorative rocks. Make your Easter basket your own!
You can also jazz up your jars with a pair of fake bunny ears.
This is a great substitute for an Easter basket if you’re in a pinch!
You can always paint bright and fun designs onto your boots if they aren’t naturally colorful.
For instance, you can create a fun zig-zag pattern with your tape, or use several small pieces of tape to make a flower.
You can find these supplies online or at most stores that sell party supplies.
For instance, if you prefer sugary candy, you may want to put jellybeans in your basket. If you’re a big fan of chocolate, fill your basket with chocolate bars and bunnies instead.
You can hide these eggs around your home and make a fun Easter egg hunt for your little ones.
For instance, you can paint a small wooden crate and fill it with gardening gloves, vegetable seeds, and other gardening goodies. Fill a fun bucket with a Frisbee, jump rope, and other fun toys for an outdoor-themed basket.
