Edible Easter Baskets!

IMG_32051

Good evening, savvy savers! Spring has sprung, as have the myriad of Easter-themed projects around the net, and The Lady Prefers To Save is no exception!

As I posted yesterday, each day this week I will be posting an Easter-themed recipe, craft, or project. For today, I wanted to share my Edible Easter Basket Project! For this project I simple hot glued four theatre candy boxes together, hot glued a small square of cardboard beneath the basket for stability, and used tubed Easter candy for handles. The basket is filled with Dollar Tree goodies, and filled with recycled paper shreds! I was able to make this basket for $4.00! This basket would make a great addition for young children, neighbors, friends, family, teacher, and co-workers! The customization options for this basket is endless.

Here’s to crafting!

    I love this idea! So much better than buying a new basket each time.

    • Nicole April 17, 2014 at 9:59 am

      I do as well! What’s better is that as Easter is so close to Earth Day this year, its nice that the kids can recycle everything as well! Thanks!
