Here are four simple Easter Basket crafts that are easy and inexpensive but so so cute! If you’re looking to add some personality to your Easter baskets through the look or the fillers here are some really cute ideas! I made one basket look like a bunny face with a flower headband. Another I added simple tassels to. Another Easter basket is painted with gold trim. And the last basket has fun pom poms and a painted saying. Read on below for the instructions.
Before we go over how to make the baskets I wanted to share some of my favorite Easter basket fillers. In mine I have fun unique candies from a local candy shop named Pop and Sweets. I filled the baskets with TimTams, Waffle cookies, bunny gummies, and Tiramisu cups. I also thought it would be fun to fill the baskets with fun Soda drinks as well. I added fun lip balms and lotions from eos. These eos lip balms are my favorite and look just like Easter eggs!! They’re perfect for Easter basket fillers. In addition I added fun little toys like hopping bunnies and silly string.
Growing up in Las Vegas we always received swimsuits in our Easter baskets. My all time favorite candies have to be the Cadbury Mini Eggs. I would love to hear what you love to put in your Easter baskets. Ok, so here are the instructions to these simple Easter basket ideas. Read below how to make the Bunny with floral headband basket, pom pom basket, gold dipped basket, and tassel basket. Happy Crafting loves.
