Easter Egg Basket
Create a charming, carrot-shaped Easter egg basket that's as fun to make as it is festive! Start by tracing and cutting an orange cardboard circle, then fold and glue it into a cone using Bostik Blu Stik. Decorate the outer surface with Green tissue paper for leafy texture, secured using Bostik Cut ’n Paste, and insert a pipe cleaner handle anchored with Blu Tack® Colour for a sturdy grip. Add your favourite Easter eggs or treats - this basket doubles as both a functional gift holder and whimsical décor. Perfect for crafting with kids, classroom activities, or adding a homemade touch to your holiday celebrations. 🌱🥕

Draw a quarter circle from one edge to the opposite edge of the square on the orange cardboard.
Step 3: Cut your basket
Cut along the drawn circle.
Step 4: Ready your basket
Measure 1cm from one straight edge of the circle and draw a straight line along it.
Step 5: Final basket prepping
Fold in and press down along the drawn straight line.
Step 6: Readying your tissue paper
Place the tissue paper over the basket and cut to fit along the straight edges adding 5cm along the circular edge.
TIP
The folded 1cm straight line on the orange cardboard is not to be covered with green tissue paper as this will be used to glue the cone together
Step 7: Attach your tissue paper
Glue the tissue paper to the basket using Bostik Blu Stik.
Step 8: Decorate your basket
Flip the basket over and decorate your basket using felt tip pens or pencils.
Step 9: Make your basket
Glue along the top of the folded orange line using the Bostik Blu Stik. Attach this glued line over to the other straight side to form a cone.
Step 10: Hole punch the basket
Using the hole puncher, create 2 holes - 1 on either side of the basket about 1.5cm down from the orange edge.
Step 11: Ready the handles
Twirl together the green and orange pipe cleaners.
Step 12: Attach the handles
Insert the handles into the holes on either side of the cone.
