Craft: Paper plate Easter baskets

 

Roberta here with a really simple and fun Easter craft!

If you want to make a cute basket, here’s how.

 

What you need:

Paper plate, acrylic or watercolor paint, paintbrush, stapler, cardstock, stickers, Easter grass

 

What you do:

  1. Paint the front and back of your paper plate.
  2. Take your paper plate and cut eight slits in it, like this:
  3. Pull the flaps of paper so they overlap each other. Staple in place.
  4. Keep doing that (like this):
  5. And eventually, you’ll end up with this:
  6. Staple a handle across the top and decorate with stickers (use stickers or pieces of paper to cover up the staples).
  7. Fill with Easter grass and goodies!

    im trying to find an easter basket to make that can hold a lot of eggs and is easy to carry because my 2 1/2 year old sister is going hunting at the church this year and ive been practicing with her. she is really small so people think shes younger but shes also very fast and strong and tough, so people underestimate her too! she is going to do very well, i think! i just need to find the right style of basket to make any ideas kinz fans??

    I love Easter. I have this cute little bunny that can strap on to things. It’s ears have sticky velcro. I love to attach it on my Easter Basket! It’s so fun, having it dangle from the basket while I collect eggs! ♥
