But where should we put everything? My dears, an Easter basket will help you out. It will collect all the Easter symbols in one place, and can also act as a present for relatives and friends.

We are used to giving treats by taking them out of a package. And it's not always convenient. Therefore, think that you can make a separate box for each family and collect treats in it in advance. And then give it as a gift, I think that your relatives and friends will appreciate such a gesture of attention.

And you can make a stand from whatever you have on hand! It can be textile, paper and even plastic. Intrigued? Then let's get creative.

Plastic bottles only at first glance seem like useless, outdated garbage. In fact, in skillful hands they are transformed. For example, look at what crafts amateurs create from them.


Today I will share with you some ideas for coasters in which you can beautifully place eggs, candy, candles and even Easter bunnies.

  • We will need:
  • plastic bottle,
  • scissors,
  • hot glue,,
  • acrylic paint
  • decor,

acrylic lacquer.

The base of the stand consists of the bottom of the bottle. We cut it off, not forgetting to leave two vertical strips that will serve as handles.


Using scissors, we will beautifully cut out the ornament along the edge of the bottom.

Paint the outside of the workpiece with acrylic paint and let it dry well. And then we fix the paint with acrylic varnish.


We connect the handles with hot glue. So that this joint is not visible, we decorate it with a flower.

Now all that remains is to decorate the blank. Another one interesting idea


I also came across an interesting idea for such rabbits. Even a preschooler can easily make this craft!


It is not necessary to make a stand; you can simply decorate the jar itself beautifully.


It is better to stick the muzzle on the bottle, because the marker can easily be erased from it.


Quail eggs will be stored very beautifully in it. They are small and will easily fit into the neck.

Origami egg cup

If you only have a sheet of paper at hand, then the origami technique will come to the rescue. It is loved by both children and adults and allows you to create wonderful things. Remember the one they let in during breaks at school? So, since those years we have become familiar with this technique.


In the bottom picture I give step by step description work process.


It’s better to take a double-sided sheet, there are some for both the printer and for creativity. Look in office supply stores.

Crochet basket: diagram and description

Knitted baskets always create a very homely and cozy mood. They can be used not only as a gift, but also as decoration.


I suggest watching a video that describes the entire knitting process step by step.

I also love the idea of ​​crocheting with jersey fabric. This fabric yarn is easy to make; many people became familiar with it in childhood, when they saw their grandmother knitting rugs for the hallway.

The fabric is taken and cut along its entire length into strips of equal width. The edges of the strips are tied, but to make it look neater, it is stitched. And the knitting process begins according to the chosen pattern. Most often, only single crochet is used.


And now it's ready for sale knitting yarn! You need to choose her big hook. So he can grab the thread.

The product also looks very beautiful when it contains two colors of yarn.

You can also knit a stand for each testicle.

And for the craftswomen, I found this picture. I think it will deprive many needlewomen of sleep. But, if you look closely, you can see that it consists of two circles of different diameters. And you can repeat it not only by crocheting, but also using any fabric.

Master class with paper hares with a template

Of course, the kids and I will make a paper box where we will put an egg and candy for all our friends. But I won’t print out a color template, I’ll make it a plain white one so that the kids can use their imagination and paint the bunnies with paints.


And here is the diagram itself.


Bend all the figures along the bottom line of the base.

Then you make cuts on the upper legs; you need to insert the adjacent leg into the cut.

Here's another interesting Easter bunny idea.


The template consists of two parts. The edges on which the dotted line is drawn must be bent and glued together.

Well, a simple square stand for those who don’t want to create animals, but prefer something more classic and elegant.

Draw 9 squares on a piece of paper. The squares all have the same sides. Bend along the lines, as in the origami technique, and then cut through the middle lines of the two outer rows. Now all that remains is to roll the workpiece.

And also a children's craft made from paper and toilet paper rolls.

Today I will share with you some ideas for coasters in which you can beautifully place eggs, candy, candles and even Easter bunnies.

  • a sheet of colored double-sided paper,
  • sleeve,
  • PVA glue,
  • scissors.

Place the sheet horizontally and draw parallel stripes 1 centimeter wide.

Not reaching the edge 4 centimeters, cut the breakages along the lines.


We make a mark on the sleeve at a distance of 4 centimeters from the edge, draw a line and cut off this edge.

Lubricate the sleeve with glue and glue our “fence” along the entire length.

If you have any paper left over, cut it off.

Now we glue the tip of each strip to its base, forming a loop.


All that remains is to glue the handle from a long strip of paper of the same color.

Another idea for an interesting basket made of corrugated paper or cardboard, from which the top paper layer has been removed.

You will need six strips of the same length and width.

From one you make a circle, to which we glue the other two crosswise.


Then glue two more, but diagonally.

Attach the handle and decor to the craft.

Fabric basket with bunnies with pattern


Also, let's look into any housewife's cabinet, and there we will find a lot of pasta of different shapes. So they also make excellent crafts, can you imagine? Especially if you use several different types and form them into beautiful patterns.


So, my dears, with a little imagination you can find a very exciting activity. It’s only at first glance that it seems that preparing for Easter is simple; in fact, there is room to roam around and show your creativity.

Happy holiday to you, all the light and sunshine to you and your home!

I present to you 5 options - how to make Easter baskets with your own hands from different materials with step by step photos graphs. Master classes are not at all complicated; such crafts can be done together with children. About how to do it - master classes with step-by-step photos, see here.

01. Basket made from a plastic cup

Among the indispensable attributes of this holiday are Easter cakes, Easter cottage cheese and colored eggs. To decorate the table for Easter, colorful eggs can be placed in beautiful handmade baskets.

To make this Easter basket you will need:

  • 2 plastic cups;
  • scissors;
  • Double-sided tape.

We will use one cup to make a basket directly, and the other will be needed to make a handle.

Let's start with the base of the Easter basket. To do this, we make cuts about 1 cm wide in the cup - we start them from the top of the cup and do not reach 2 cm to the bottom.

We cut the entire cup in this way, this is how it should look at this stage.

Now you can start weaving the basket. To do this, take one strip, lead it from the outside to the left, skip one strip and bring it over the edge of the next one. Fixation in this case is ensured by the sides that are located at the upper edge of the cup.

We do the same with the next strip - skip one and bring the next one over the left edge.

Using the same principle, we secure all the strips of our cup. As a result, we get the base of the basket.

Now all that remains is to make the handle. To do this, take a second glass and make a small cut in it. We only need a narrow strip from it.

Cut this strip from the top of the cup. We attach double-sided tape to the ends.

We bend the cut strip in the other direction and secure it to the base of the basket.

If you wish, you can decorate the Easter basket and then place colorful eggs in it.

Our Easter basket is ready!

02. DIY felt Easter basket

In this master class I propose to make the simplest Easter egg basket with your own hands. The ease of manufacture lies in the fact that we do not need to prepare the inside of the stand. We will use a ready-made cup that is ideal in size.

All we need to do is cut out the grass border. Well, then we decorate as we want. You can cut out ladybugs, flowers or hearts, whatever you like.

We will need:

  • felt in three colors: green, red, black;
  • measuring cup;
  • hot melt adhesive

Let's draw grass. Well, or take a ready-made template and trace it.

From black and red felt, cut out two pieces of each color. These will be ladybugs.

Drawing dots using regular ballpoint pen black color.

We apply it to the grass and decide whether this size suits us. If not, then adjust the size of the ladybugs.

I use a measuring cup as an Easter egg stand. Such cups are found in all medicinal syrups.

I glue the felt to the cup using hot glue.

I glue it on all sides.

All that remains is to glue the ladybugs.

A simple felt egg stand is ready!

03. Easter egg tray stand

Not only adults, but also children should take part in preparing for the bright holiday of Easter. Invite them to create an original Easter egg stand.

You can use it as a base waste materials, which most people throw in the trash. We will make today's stand from an egg container, which is probably found in every home.

Let's prepare everything you need to create a stand:

  • egg tray;
  • corrugated paper in lilac and light lemon shades;
  • glue gun with glue stick;
  • scissors;
  • gouache or white acrylic paint;
  • small ladybug for decoration;
  • colored paper;
  • corrugated cardboard size 15*15cm.

We use corrugated cardboard to create the base of the stand, to which we will later glue the egg cells. We cut out a blank like this with five “ears” for gluing the cells.

Paint it with white paint and place it in a warm place to dry quickly.

Paint them with white paint and leave to dry. Then we assemble a lush chamomile flower from two blanks. We bend the petals down.

From strips of light lemon corrugated paper we create the inner part of the daisies - the stamens. We cut the strips along the edge and twist them into blanks with a diameter of 8-10 mm.

We straighten the thin strips and glue the blanks into the middle of the bud. In total you need to create five such daisies.

Now we cut out the egg cells from the tray. We cut off the high sides and paint them in white tone. When the paint on the cells is completely dry, glue them onto a corrugated cardboard base.

We fix the made daisies between the cells.

We cover the end of the base with a lilac-colored corrugated strip. We stretch its upper edge to create wavy curves.

We also create small flowers from lilac paper, using the same principle as the cores of daisies. We glue them to the inside of the stand.

Cut out thin oblong leaves from double-sided green paper. We put several leaves together and glue them to the lilac flowers.

We complement the craft with bright ladybug. We attach it to any chamomile petal.

The Easter stand for colored eggs is ready.

All that remains is to place the eggs in cardboard cells and decorate the festive table with the composition.

04. A simple Easter basket made from a cardboard cup

For work we will prepare cardboard cups, glue, yarn, decorations. To begin with, we will cut out a part from a cardboard cup, make a basket handle from the remaining part, and fasten it all together.

Then we take the yarn and use it to make a basket. We will knit the inside of our basket using green grass-type yarn.

Then we’ll put two adorable chickens inside and put artificial decorative eggs.

Now it's time to decorate our basket. Let's do this with ribbons and artificial flowers.

This is what we get in the end. Beautiful, isn't it!?
