Easy Easter Basket Craft

Supplies
- Colored cardstock
- Scissors
- Glue
- Markers
- Paper Easter grass
- Glue dots
- Easter basket template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)
Directions
Download the Easter basket template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Begin by using the marker to make basket marks all along the base of the basket.

Next, glue the top of the basket to the top portion of the basket base.

Finish off the basket by gluing the handle to the top part of the basket.

Decorate your Easter eggs with the markers. When you’re finished, position them behind the basket and glue them in place.


Take one or two glue dots and stretch them along the top of the basket top. Grab a few pieces of the Easter grass and press them onto the glue dots. Cut any long ends of the grass until it looks the way you want.


We just love how each Easter basket will be unique to the child! It’s a cool way to see your child’s creativity blossom!
