5 Simple DIY Easter Baskets

Make a Chalkboard Easter Basket

Give your kids more to do with their basket than collect eggs. Paint a tin bucket with chalkboard paint and let them have all the creativity.

Chalkboard paint for your walls may not sit well with you, but you can still give your kids a creative palette with a simple tin bucket. Don’t forget to stock it full of chalk, erasers, and candy.

Make a Nest Easter Basket

Nothing says Easter quite like a bird nest. For a unique twist, use mini straw bales and a milk carton to create a bird nest. Cut about ¾ off the milk carton leaving just the square bottom.

Use a hot glue gun to glue your straw around the carton, place remaining straw in the carton, and put your decorated eggs inside. Your kids won’t know if the Easter Bunny came or a bird laid eggs in the house!

Make a Rice Krispy Basket

For a basket your kids can eat, create a Rice Krispy treat basket. Make your rice Krispies as usual, but instead of letting them cool in a flat pan, put them in a deep bowl. Be sure to place wax paper in your bowl and push the rice Krispy goop tight to the edges.

When it has cooled, gently flip the bowl upside down to take out your creation. Add some candy, eggs, and items your child will enjoy and let the fun begin.

Decorate an Easter Bucket

Simple colored buckets make great Easter baskets, and you can decorate them yourself with a little creativity. A simple, yet, creative way to decorate your bucket is to use stickers.

You can use letter stickers to personalize your child’s name on the bucket. You can find your child’s favorite theme or character stickers. You can even use Easter stickers to decorate. Fill the bucket with all your child’s favorites especially candy.

Make an Edible Arrangement Basket

There is no need to be super creative to come up with an edible arrangement basket. You can use skewer sticks, a foam circle or block and some treats. You can use PEEPS chicks and bunnies, chocolate eggs, Easter cookies or anything else that will stay on a stick.

Then simply take these skewer sticks and poke them into your foam block. Cover your foam block with chocolate eggs, grass, or other fun items or just put it inside a bucket.

When you want a special basket and to use a bit of creativity, but don’t have a lot of time, these simple DIY baskets are sure to add a little excitement to your Easter morning fun.
