Why not skip the store-bought basket filled with grass filler, plastic eggs, and chocolate this year and opt for something more whimsical?
With a little creativity, festive fabrics, and adorable treats, you can DIY a magical Easter basket that will impress even the fussiest of bunnies. In fact, a DIY basket done right is gift-worthy in and of itself and can be repurposed for years to come as home decor or for storage.
Best of all, unlike their store-bought counterparts, you can personalize your DIY baskets specifically to the recipient's interests -- so even moms, dads, and teens will enjoy theirs!
Once you know what direction you want to go, we're here to help with the toughest challenge: getting started!
