Easter Basket

My kids and I love using our creative talents to make fun little surprises for their classmates during the different holidays throughout the school year, and Easter is no exception! We decided to make fun little Easter baskets this year that held some chocolate treats. No gift is complete without a card, so we made matching cards as well.

Easter Basket

• Cut out the template for the Easter bunny basket in the colors needed to assemble the final project (I used green, pink, white and black cardstock) You'll want to cut the actual bunny parts out twice so you can use them for the card as well.

• Before you assemble the box part of the template, stamp swirl design with green shadow ink. (You can use any design for the box; it just adds a little bit of interest to the finished project.)

• Assemble the box and bunny head and adhere all pieces to the box.
• To create the grass inside the basket, cut vellum into thin strips and crinkle up. Add desired amount to the inside of the box.
• Finish it off with some chocolate candy treats!
