Feathered nest
Designer Sara Werner turned a simple wicker basket into a fanciful feathery haven for only the most stylish of Easter eggs. And she made it with just a purchased boa and a can of spray paint. You’ll want to make one, too, when you see how easy it was.
Blooms by the gallon
Sara and her kids cut and covered empty gallon containers with colorful tissue paper for this easy and inexpensive Easter basket idea. They’re just the right size for egg hunting and just the right price for any budget.
Easter wrap can-can
Photo stylist Nicole Cawlfield covered an empty paint can with wrapping paper for a super-simple, finished-in-five-minutes Easter basket that begs the question, “Now why didn’t I think of that?”
Peaty rabbits
Sara took the “matter” into her own hands to create these two adorable little baskets made from peat pots. Don’t worry, no green thumb is required to create these little bunnified baskets.
Coiled for spring
Nicole also created this coiled Easter basket made from dyed clothesline that can be repurposed after Easter is over. It’s a perfect craft for those who like something to do with their hands while watching TV.
Bigmouth bunny
Sara created this over-the-top adorable Easter basket from a purchased bunny wreath kit and plastic gallon jug. Open wide and say “Aww!”
Sew sweet bunny
This little sewn Easter basket created by editor Jeanne Field can function as a little girl’s purse after Easter is over. Cute floppy ears button together to make the handle, and the top pulls together with a ribbon drawstring.
