DIY Easter Basket

Easter is coming up on April 20. In the past, I've made some Easter crafts such as decorating Easter eggs with decoupage and rubber stamps, Easter bunny cake toppers, Easter bunny headbands, and shirts stenciled with Easter rabbits...TADA!

Today, let's make another Easter craft.

Let's turn this empty yogurt container from blah to TADA!

I'm finding inspiration from these Easter baskets made of fabric.

Here are a few more cute Easter baskets ideas.

I painted the yogurt container with acrylic paint using a medium-sized paint brush. The goal is to cover all the branding and to get a clean, even finish. It'll take about three to five coats, with some drying time in between each coat.

I found this thick grosgrain ribbon in my stash. It matches the color of the yogurt container.

Cut the ribbon into two strips of equal length and attach these to the painted yogurt container using a glue gun

Paint on the bunny's face using white acrylic paint. Don't forget the whiskers and lashes, but you can use googly eyes or pompoms if you have them.

The ribbon handles look like the bunny's ears!

They serve as sturdy handles, too. All that's left is to fill the basket with Easter eggs or Easter candy.

And that is how I turned an empty yogurt container from blah to TADA!
