Woven Easter Baskets

What You Need:

  • Pastel colored construction paper (two colors)
  • Scissors
  • Glue or stapler

Instructions:

  1. Using one piece of paper, cut horizontal straight lines (slits) about one inch in from side to side across the paper, about 1/2 inch apart from each other. The paper should be covered from top to bottom with these slits.
  2. Next take the other color of paper and cut 1/2 inch strips.
  3. Weave these strips in and out of the slits in the first paper.
  4. When completed with all the strips, glue the ends of the strips to the first piece of paper to hold them in place.
  5. Next fold up the sides to make a basket shape. Staple or glue in place.
  6. With a contrasting color make a handle on your basket and staple or glue.
  7. Try putting grass in your basket to decorate it and make it look nice!
