DIY Mini Paper Easter Basket Template
Use this Mini Paper Easter Basket Template to create little Easter Baskets you can gift or use as party favors!
Previously, I shared how to Make A Paper Easter Basket using tools I had from my scrapbooking days, but I realized that you may not have or want to buy those tools, so I came up with a way to make a Mini Easter Basket using tools you probably already have at home!
How To Assemble The Mini Paper Easter Basket
1. Print
Print the Easter Basket template on card stock in the color of your choice.
2. Cut
Cut along the outside black lines.
3. Score
Score between the v’s using a ruler and the back of a butter knife. You will have two score lines in each direction.
4. Fold
Fold on each score line, using the back of the butter knife, to give your folds a nice crease.
5. Cut On Black Lines
Cut along the folds on the black lines up to the center fold. You will have four cuts.
6. Assemble
On one side with cuts, fold up the center piece and place one end of the basket handle on top of it. Then, pull the two outside edges up over the center square and basket handle, making sure to overlap all four pieces.
7. Staple
Staple the four pieces together.
8. Assemble The Second Side
Repeat for the opposite side.
9. Fill The Basket
Add a little paper grass and a few treats!
What To Put In A Mini Paper Easter Basket
The sweet thing about these Easter Baskets is that they are tiny. Just a few treats will fill it quite nicely.
- Plastic Egg filled with Easter candy
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg
- Miniature Chocolate Bunny (I purchased these at Costco)
If you’d like to give a more substantial gift, you could easily place money in a plastic egg or include a gift card.
