Edible Easter Baskets (Easy Easter Craft)

For this craft you’ll need:

*Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
*4 Candy Boxes
*Cardboard for the bottom of basket
*Scissors
*Craft foam for handle (or use Nerds Candy Ropes!)
*Ribbon for embellishments if desired

Directions:

Use a hot glue gun to glue the corners of candy boxes together. Cut a piece of cardboard to fit the bottom and hot glue that to secure bottom. Cut a long piece of craft foam about 1.5 inches wide by 16 inches long (or use a Nerds Candy Rope). Glue to the inside of the boxes. Make sure to use a good amount of glue so when it dries you’ll be able to use handle. Embellish further with ribbon if desired or even a hair bow Fill with grass and Easter goodies.

This is such an easy and adorable craft! If you’d prefer crackers or other snack foods, try looking for similar shaped boxes! It can also be used as a small gift basket idea for other occasions and holidays. How cute would the candy basket be to present a movie gift card? Or possibly a teacher end of the year gift?
