Creating a sweet little Easter treat holder doesn’t have to be complicated! Today I’m sharing how to make an easy paper Easter Basket using the Easter Basket Bundle and the coordinating Easter Joy 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper. This simple project is perfect for table favors, small treats, or thoughtful handmade gifts.
🐰 Easy Paper Easter Basket Tutorial
✂️ Supplies:
Easter Basket Bundle
Easter Joy 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper
Paper Trimmer & Scoring Tool
Bone Folder
Tombow Multipurpose Glue or Tear & Tape
Cardstock (optional for base)
📏 Basket Measurements & Scoring
Start with a 6" x 6" piece of designer paper.
Score at 2" and 4".
Turn the paper and score again at 2" and 4".
Burnish all score lines with a bone folder.
✂️ Cutting
On opposite sides, cut the middle tabs up to the score lines.
These will form the sides of your basket.
🧺 Assembling the Basket
Using Tombow Multipurpose Glue or Tear & Tape, glue the right side down first, then fold and glue the left side over it.
This creates the box shape of your basket.
🎀 Adding a Decorative Base (Optional)
If you’d like to layer designer paper onto a cardstock base, cut:
Six pieces measuring 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" squares.
These panels fit perfectly on each outside section of the basket for added color and texture.
🪄 Basket Handle
Cardstock strip: 6" x 3/4"
Designer paper layer: 6" x 1/2"
Adhere the designer paper strip to the cardstock handle, then attach to the inside of the basket to finish it off beautifully.
