Easter Bunny Approved: 5 DIY Paper Easter Baskets

March 10, 2015 by Martha Bonneau 1 Comment

As a kid, Easter was one of my favorite holidays.  Each year my mom would let us go to the store to pick out our Easter basket.  Inevitably I would pick out something bright pink and large enough to hold as many eggs as possible!  The tradition was we would come down on Eater morning to find our basket stuffed with toys and candy which we would quickly dump out so that we could use our basket to collect eggs in for our Easter egg hunt. Easter Basket Mosaic

The Easter basket as a symbol of Easter as we know it today has it’s origins in the church. Large baskets of food were brought in for a feast that symbolized the end of Lenten fasting and this marked the beginning of the basket of treats representing the Easter holiday, a tradition that continues to this day.  Besides the Easter Bunny and Easter eggs, the Easter basket is one of the most popular Easter traditions.  After all, without the basket, how would you collect all of those eggs?  My daughter picked out an Easter basket that we have used for the last couple of years, but this year we plan on making one together for her eggs as well as smaller ones for treats for friends and teachers.

These DIY Easter baskets created from various types of paper can be created in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. From a simple upcycled paper basket for treats or fruit  to a more ornate folded paper basket for gathering eggs or displaying as part of your Eater décor, these 5 DIY paper basket tutorials will have you dyeing and hiding more eggs just so you will have an excuse to use all of the baskets you will be creating!

I live with my husband, 7 and 4 year old daughters, and a pug named Pixie in Crystal Lake, Illinois which is in the ‘burbs NW of Chicago.
I started scrapping in 2006 and was quickly addicted!I was an avid scrapper until late summer of 2010 when we started our adoption journey, at that point I was overwhelmed with paperwork (and emotions!) and I had to put something on the back burner in my life but I knew I would eventually come back to it.
We welcomed our daughter home from China in December of 2011 and a few months later I found my groove again and pulled out all of those supplies that had been tucked away.
I started out scrapping again doing traditional layouts, but at the beginning of this year I jumped into Project Life and I love it!
When I’m not scrapping I am usually spending time with our daughters which means library time, going on walks, thrifting (they love it as much as I do!) or watching Kung Fu Panda for the millionth time.I also have an Etsy shop Panda Eight Designs where I sell scrapbooking flair that I design.
