Craft sticks have never looked so good! Here’s how to make this playful Easter basket:
Materials:
– Large craft sticks
– Screw hole punch
– Hot glue
– Top of a round take-out container (ours was about a 4” circle)
– White acrylic paint
– Craft brush
– Burlap or another fabric scrap (for the inside)
– ½ burlap ribbon
Steps:
- Make a template craft stick where you put a hole about ½” down from the top in the center. Using your ‘template’ mark 18 (or more!) craft sticks with where you need to make the hole and punch it out.
- Paint each craft stick white and let them dry.
- Hot glue the bottom of a craft stick (without the hole) to the round and hot glue the rest of the craft sticks until the entire plastic base is covered.
- Cut a piece of burlap or fabric and attach it to the inside of the basket with a few dots of hot glue to make a nicer finish.
- Finish the basket with a strip of burlap ribbon on the bottom of the basket. Attach the bow with a few dots of hot glue and trim it to fit.
