Quick Tips to Create an Easter Basket
Get inspired and load up those Easter baskets with our quick tips to create the perfect personalized gift for your kids, friends or family.
1. Start with your basket
Whether you go the classic route with a braided wicker basket or pick a unique twist like a mason jar, a planter, a toolbox, a backpack or a decorative bowl, your options are endless. Just make sure whatever you use is sturdy enough to hold everything you fill it with.
2. Pack in some personality
What’s the best part of a DIY Easter basket? You can make it as personalized and special as you want! Theme your gift to match someone’s personality, hobbies or simply their favorite color. Of course, everyone loves chocolate bunnies and bite-sized treats, so be sure to stuff them in the basket, too!
3. Decorate with finishing touches
No Easter basket or gift is complete without a bit of flair! For the filling, use Easter basket grass, shredded tissue paper, or shredded wood excelsior or moss for an earthy look. Show your silly side with all the pom-poms, ribbons and googly eyes you can find. For a more sophisticated look, use silk or real flowers, a feather boa or a scarf. Then, call it a wrap with bright, colorful cellophane that lets everyone get a sneak peek of all the goodies insid
