Plastic Egg Basket Craft

Sherri Osborn
Bernadette shared the directions for a fun plastic egg flower pot and I changed them up a little bit to be a miniature Easter basket.

  • Age Guideline: 6 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 20 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Start out by gluing the tip of one half of the plastic egg onto the drink bottle cap. This will give it a flat base to sit on. Cut the chenille stem in half and glue each end inside the egg, directly across from each other. Glue some ribbon around the top edge of the 'basket' and tie a bow if you like. You can also wrap and glue the ribbon around the edge of the drink cap.

I hope you enjoy this making this Easter basket. If you make this craft, make sure you send in a photo so it can be posted here. You can also get your own crafts published.
