Introduction
- Easter baskets are part of the holiday tradition. They are used during Easter egg hunts, allowing kids to stash the eggs they may find, and they hold Easter candies and treats brought by the Easter Bunny. If you want to put together a fun family-oriented project, why not make your own Easter basket this holiday?

-
Step 1: Choose a Material
- Homemade Easter baskets can be constructed from a variety of materials.
- You may want to simply decorate a store-bought plastic bucket with an elaborate holiday design.
- Embellish a wicker basket with an Easter-related theme .
- Easter baskets can be made from a variety of household items, including:
- Paper bags
- Coffee cans
- Decorative bowls
- If you have a knack for crocheting, you can whip up a beautifully decorated homemade Easter basket.
- Consider using an online template to create a unique Easter basket; this project could be particularly enjoyable for children.

Step 3: What You'll Need
- Once you have picked a design, it is time to list the supplies you will need to create your homemade Easter basket. Depending on your choice of design, you may need:
- Plastic bucket
- Wicker basket
- Fabric
- Glitter
- Glue gun
- Markers
- Paints
- Ribbon
- Poster board
- Candies
- Decorated Easter eggs
- Gather all the things you will need to make your Easter basket before you actually begin assembling it. If you are using an online template, make sure to print it out beforehand.
Step 4: Make Your Basket
- Once you have chosen your design and gathered up all the supplies you'll need, it is time to get to work! If your project involves the use of scissors or a glue gun—craft supplies that might not be safe for younger children—have the kids start on the simpler aspects of the basket, like coloring or using glitter. Cover the table, chair and work areas to prevent stains, such as glue or crayon stains. Depending on the type of basket you are making, you may need to:
- Thread ribbon through a woven basket.
- Glue decorations or glitter on the basket.
- Fill the basket with cotton or other decorations.
- If you have toddlers, make sure the baskets don't contain small pieces they might put in their month.
- Make sure the handle is strong enough for the items the basket will carry.
Step 5: Economical Easter Baskets
- The material and design for the basket will impact how much the basket will cost to make. If you are concerned about saving money, consider this:
- If you are making Easter bonnets, consider making them in a way that allows them to also be used for baskets.
- Cute and fun baskets can be made with many different materials if they are decorated in a creative way.
- Papers bags are economical.
- Consider decorating plastic pails. Even if they have been used outside, you can wash them and cover the inside with fabrics or other materials.
Conclusion
- Easter baskets don't have to cost an arm and a leg to be beautiful. A homemade Easter basket can be made at a relatively low cost, often using things you may already have. Just put on your creative thinking cap and enjoy the project. Don't forget to fill your newly created homemade Easter basket with lots of holiday goodies!
