Easter Treat Baskets

Stacy of She’s Kinda Crafty shared the cutest tutorial for an Easter treat basket at Amanda’s Weekend Bloggy Reading Party.  After looking at Stacy’s cute project, I was inspired to create my own version.

These will be filled with chocolates and given to a few family members and to some special friends at school. 

I predict that they will be a hit!


Stacy’s tutorial calls for gluing wire in between two layers of ribbon and using that for a handle.  I didn’t have any narrow ribbon, only wide ribbon, and the glue wouldn’t stick, so I crafted handles without wire.  My handles are held on by hot glue.


The only thing I had to purchase for this project were peat pots and after completing it, I noticed that I had plenty of peat pots on my workbench.  Oh well.  I bought mine at my local feed and seed.  The small size were $.06 each and the large size were $.12 each.  The ribbon I used is leftover from two wreaths I crafted for Easter in the 90’s.  I’m glad I saved it.  Stacy generously provided the graphic that I glued to each basket on her blog.

All my baskets need now is candy!


I can’t wait to hand these out!  Thanks to Stacy for the inspiration.
