Substitutions For DIY Candy Easter Basket
You can use some of these suggestions below to alter the craft to your liking.
- Use any boxed candy that you prefer!
- You can use any colored paper grass for each child; use their favorite color!
- If you don’t have any ideas on what to fill it with, you can use things like plastic eggs, jelly beans, peeps, other candies, or toys/trinkets.
Tips & Tricks
- If you need this to be done quickly or you plan on making a couple of them, I recommend using hot glue instead of regular. This will not only dry faster but make the basket a lot stronger.
- If you can’t find any paper grass, you can make your own at home. This will take a bit extra work, but it is fairly simple to make. Cut strips of your preferred color paper and make crinkly folds to look like grass. If you would rather not do this, you can skip it and use a green card stock OR use green tissue paper.
My boys absolutely loved their Candy Easter Basket! You can get really creative and make an individualized basket for each kiddo using their favorite treats.
