Easter Basket Blog Hop – Floral Easter Eggs and Basket
Welcome to the Easter Basket blog hop! I hope you have a good time hopping from blog to blog and seeing some ideas for Easter baskets and their contents this season. I LOVE the way this Easter basket I decorated turned out. I think you’ll be amazed when I tell you that this project cost me under $6. 😀 The Easter basket was $1 at Michael’s. I used less than $3 worth of flowers. The candy was $2 for a bag. Everything else I already owned.
I used that (much loved) glue gun to attach all of the flowers to the basket and the plastic eggs I decorated. The Tim Holtz Scissors are wonderful for clipping ribbon as well as plastic. They expertly clipped the plastic ends off of these flowers.
Using a plain plastic egg, I hot glued the flower tops to the egg.
I assembled some of the leaves along with pink flower centers to cover the sides of the basket.
The tops of the plastic eggs are decorated, but not the bottoms. That way the recipient can grasp the bottom of the egg and easily open it for a treat. In this case, the treats are wrapped in some pretty pink paper, embellished with pearl ribbon/string and topped with a flower.
The floral Easter eggs help fill the basket and turn it from a simple Easter basket into a centerpiece. 😀 I hope you enjoyed this project. Now I have to go un-glue my fingers. LOL! 😀
NOW … On with the Hop!!

Hello! I’ve never done a blog hop before, you are my 1st!
I have to say I am in awe at your handy craft work! you are uber talented!
What a divine basket – love it!
I guess it’s time to go find that storage box with all the plastic easter eggs! Fun project! I might be filling them with small cosmetics for the teen nieces!
Gorgeous centerpiece – love the flowers you used!
What a wonderful idea! My children are all grown up and this would be great to give to some of my adult friends and take to a nursing home for those that need some cheering up. I have lots of plastic eggs from buying them after Easter years ago, now I have a good way to use them up. Another good place to get some baskets are the second-hand stores like; Goodwill, Salvation Army and others that may be in your neighborhood. Have a GREAT CRAFTING day! 🙂
Precious! I love the egg covered with flowers glued on. Love that it is cheap, too! Thank you Joy.
Love all your ideas!!!
This gave me an idea for a basket for my grandson. I can glue hot wheels around the basket or animals. He loves squishy lizards. He would absolutely love it. The flower idea is great for my granddaughters. I am really stoked about the ideas.
So pretty…I saw some flowers at the dollar tree yesterday that would make a very pretty basket..Need to go back..
I love how you wrapped the candy with the flowers…very cute basket for Easter. Thanks as always for the chance to win.
Love the basket. I may have to try making one myself. Thanks for a nice blog candy.

Glad to see a new idea for those plastic eggs! They need something fresh. And inexpensive is always a plus.
Thanks Joy!
Love how you dressed up the plain plastic eggs. Wonder how it would work on foam ones? Minus the hot glue, of course. Maybe.
