Instructions:
Start out by lining up the candy boxes and making a rectangle.
Measure the rectangle.
This measurement will be the size you need to cut the cardstock to make the base of your basket.
My basket is 6 x 7.5 inches so I cut a piece of yellow cardstock to that size.
To adhere everything together I used hot glue and laid it down in dots.
With dots of glue the boxes will come apart when the recipient is ready to disassemble, but will still hold the pieces together.
Add one box at a time until all of the pieces are glued together.
The last piece of the basket is the handle. That is where the Nerds Rope comes into play.
This handle is only for looks only, if you try to carry the basket by this handle it will break, so be aware.
Put a bit of glue on each end of the rope and adhere to the center of the side boxes, then shape the rope as needed to give it a nice curve.
That's it! You're done.
Fill the basket with some Easter grass and anything else you would like to add to the basket. Why not more Easter candy and chocolate?!
These fun gift baskets aren't just for Easter either, they make a perfect gift for Mother's Day, Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, or May Baskets!
You can even turn them into a flower arrangement!

That's such a clever idea. My daughter did the santa sleigh from packets of sweets last Christmas for her brother (she'd seen it on pinterest of course) and that worked really well. I love this Easter idea.
