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!!

Don’t you just love those plastic eggs. One year we plastic egged our golfing neighbor’s front yard in all the pretty colored ones. The funny thing is they do not have any children. He had a great chuckle. My husband put golf tees in some, candy in others. What Fun! Your basket brought back memories of that!!!
Happy Easter Blogging, Rosann
That Basket is Awesome! I need something for the island and Looks like something the kids and I could have fun doing together, but I’ll have to find something to fill in the voids as fast as that candy would disappear……
Well just how adorable can this be!!!! I am going to make on of these this weekend. You always have the cutest ideas. Thanks for Sharing your talents.

Great looking treat basket/centerpiece…as long as no one in my family knew the treats were there I might be able to keep the centerpiece until the end of the Easter meal. Love how you used those plastic eggs to hold treats and your flowers. Great job.
Back from hopping and this has been a great blog hop, lots of great projects and inspiration. Thank you all.

WOW, what a great basket you made. I just wish we had a Michaels over here in the UK, oh well just have to pester hubby for a holiday so I can cram stuff in my suitcase from Michaels like I usually do. I enjoyed the blog hop too to see all the different projects.
Wow, you do amazing things!! So cool!
What a fantastic project, I just love it, what a great idea!!! TFS
Your Easter basket is so pretty! I was looking for the eggs and couldn’t find them. Then I saw that you had covered them with flowers — how clever. TFS and thanks for the great giveaway. Cri-Kits pens are wonderful!
How precious is that? Hmmm.. wonder if I have enough flowers around here to at least start one tonight.
What a great idea!!! Would make a great hostess gift at Easter time! Thanks for the blog candy pjseagers at hotmail dot com
