Easter Basket Alternatives
Really, any small container can be made into an Easter basket. What makes them so cute are the bunny face and ears. I had an assortment of cute vessels from one-too-many-trips to my favorite craft supply stores.
Gather:
- Buckets, Jars, Berry Baskets, Solo Cups, and Zig Zag Pot
- Stiff felt in white and pink
- Googly eyes
- Pastel pom poms
- Pink Pipe Cleaners
- Adhesive hearts (or cut small hearts from felt)
- Scissor
- Hot Glue Gun
- Green Crinkly Paper Filler
Method:
- Cut outer ears using the white felt. Eyeball the shape of a bunny ear cutting 2-4 inches despending on the size of the vessel.
- Cut inner ears smaller than the outer ear, eyeballing size.
- Hot glue inner ear to the out ear.
- Overlap ears at the bottom and attach using hot glue.
- Turn the adhesive heart (or felt, if using) upside down, with point at the top.
- Cut piper cleaners into (2) 1-inch pieces and fold in half. Attach to the heart with hot glue.
- Hot glue edges of googly eyes to heart.
- Attach 3 pom poms in a triangle formation onto heart with hot glue.
Attach to your containers:
- Peel off adhesive backing or hot glue the heart-based bunny face to the front of container.
- Add hot glue the the back bottom edge of felt bunny ears and attach to the inside back of container.
- Fill with green crinkly paper filler to resemble grass
- Fill with your favorite Easter treats, small gifts, or gift cards!
