NO-Sew, Express Baskets for your Easter Egg Hunt with FREE Printable Pattern

NO-Sew, Express Baskets for your Easter Egg Hunt wit FREE Printable Pattern

If for some reason or another you haven't done any crafty things for Easter, fear not!

Today I 'm showing you an easy-peasy, express DIY craft that even a child can do  - Tried and tested by yours truly and her gang of mini helpers.

Every year, the Easter bunny hides chocolate eggs around our garden, and leaves us clues as to where they're hidden.

The texts changes every year, but it's basically little notes written in rhyme with cute little clues - Isn't the Easter bunny such a darling?! :)



And this year I decided to make some DIY baskets so the kids have something cute and practical to put their eggs in - Just don't put all the eggs in one basket! Sorry couldn't help myself...

These are NO-SEW, no measure, and have no complicated instruction or skills required - Just some glue and foam needed. Oh, and a pair of willing hands - Great craft to make with the kids too!

I've done all the work (it took a few attempts..), all you have to do is assemble it - And no, there are no IKEA-style kits either! ;)


NO-Sew, Express Baskets for your Easter Egg Hunt

Materials Needed:

* Printable Easter Egg Hunt Basket Template - See below
* Colored craft foam A4 sheets (x2 per basket) in your choice of colors
* Hot Glue Gun
* Embellishment (Optional): buttons, ribbon scraps, glitter, pre-cut foam shapes, black pen, googly eyes etc.


Directions: (Also provided with template)

1) Just cut the pattern from foam. I used two A4 sheets and scraps for decoration (I bought a pack of multi-colored A4 foam sheets - no more than €2 from a craft store)  

2) Slot the tabs into the slits - Yes, those are the technical terms, thank you...

3) Secure the tabs in place with a dot of glue -  a combination of hot glue and strong glue or fabric glue work best. 

4) Glue the bunny to the side, and add embellishments if you wish and there you have it - The quickest, most adorable little baskets for your Easter Egg Hunts! 

OPTIONAL: You can add details to your bunny's face and decorate your basket too! I added googly eyes to the bunny, glued on a red foam triangle for nose and pink foam for inside the ears, drew on the face with a black pen and added a little blusher (real make-up) with a cotton bud or paintbrush to the cheeks and ears to give dimension. To finish it off, I glue on a little bow/bow tie and voila!

NO-Sew, Express Baskets for your Easter Egg Hunt wit FREE Printable Pattern


We decorated our Easter egg hunt baskets with  pre-cut foam shapes of flowers, grass, circles and we added tissue paper inside. But if you don't have the time nor the disposition, they're just as cute au naturel - Would also make a great Easter Favor Bag, don't you think?


Oh, and if you intend to download these, please send us some love back and put a PIN on IT? Much appreciated! 💖
