On Easter Day, the Easter bunny leaves a wonder Basket in front of your door. These Easter baskets full of candy such as chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs, jelly beans, and many other fun candies. The basket is usually filled with colorful fake grass and the basket is usually very festive and colorful. The Easter bunny does a great job designing your basket just perfectly. Easter is almost as exciting for Christian children as Christmas is. You never know what type of candy you are going to get or what treats will be inside the plastic eggs that are within your basket. It is the kind of fun that only comes once a year. Below you will find some Easter basket themed crafts, I hope you enjoy them.
To make a really cool paper Easter Basket....you only have to do a little bit of work. First of all, print out a black and white diagram or print out a color diagram. If you have card stock, this is the best material to print out your Easter Basket. You can just fold it as paper, but if you want it sturdier, and you only have paper, you can paste it onto cereal box cardboard before you fold it up. All you will need to do is cut out the diagram, fold it and glue it together. Then staple on a paper handle.
Start off thsi craft with a square piece of paper or card stock, whether that means an 8 x 8 inches or 12 x 12 inches piece of paper...either way. Firstly, fold the paper in half, like in illustration 153. Then fold again, this time in to fourths, as seen in figure 154. ...and then fold in halfs again so that it is in eighths as seen in illustration 15Now you will see that there are dotted lines in this illustration....that is where you need to cut. Now draw the curved line and 1" from the rim of the paper that you just cut...as you see in illustration 156. Draw a curved line about one inch from outer edge as shown in Fig. 156. Now cut from the fold down to this line that you just drew. Now unfold the paper and it will look like figure 157. Now fold in the paper as you see in the picture. Now glue or psate the edges of the paper together to look like the picture in figure 158. Cut a handle and paste it or staple it to the inside of the basket. This will make a beautiful Easter Basket.
Find a nice and large piece of paper or go out and buy a large piece of card stock or a large colored piece of paper. Here is an 8.5x11 template and here is an 11x14 template....it is only half of the template...because both sides are the same. So you can print out the template on printer paper and then cut this out. Then fold the bigger piece of paper in half...then trace it on the fold. Now cut it out. If you want it larger...use a big bowl to trace the circle. Then just make a square with rounded corners for the handles. Make decorations on the basket. Fold on the dotted lines.
Do you want to make a very easy paper Easter basket? It is very easy to do. Get a square piece of paper. Fold it into 9 equal squares as seen in picture 1. You can just keep folding the paper over and over until you see 9 equal squares. Then cut on the red dotted lines....on either side of the middle top and middle bottom square. Then fold on the solid inner lines as you seen in the secon picture above. Then look at the 3rd illustration above to see how you glue the basket together. Just cut out a thin strip of paper and glue or staple the basket handle on the Easter Basket.
You don't have to go out and buy expensive Easter Baskets for all of your friends and family members. Instead making handmade paper baskets to give some of your favorite people a treat on Easter day. All you need to do is follow the paper diagrams above. Follow the directions...such as on the box A. Get a square piece of paper. Use a ruler to make a grid of equal sized squares (16 squares). Cut on one line in each corner (it is marked. Fold that box inwards and glue it together. Do 2 of these...one slightly bigger, for the lid. Follow the directions on the 2 baskets lettered 'B' and 'C'.
To make a four sectioned flower basket, find a sheet of firm paper at least 9 inches square and of the color that will be right for your flowers. Fold the paper diagonally to find the center as in figure 1, pictured above. Open the paper back up. Now fold each corner to the center, as pictured in figure 2. Turn the paper completely over and fold the corners of this side to the center, as seen in figure 3. Then fold the new square into a small square, as pictured in figure 4. Now that this is done, unfold back to the last square, as pictured in figure 5. Now open the loose corners. Punch a hole at the center folds. Run a ribbon through this hole. Optionally, you can tie loose ends into a bow. Fill each section with tiny flowers, as pictured in figure 6.
