All of us have baskets, but we seldom know what to do with them. As a result they end up stored in the garage to collect dust. Here are simple tips on how to create the most amazing Easter/Spring flower baskets. We will be using variations of baskets, mini suitcases, wooden buckets, tin containers and adding flowers, miniature rabbits and ducks to help finish the overall look.
Here's a helpful hint: Recycle by transforming your old Easter baskets into something completely different just by adding moss.
Materials needed:
- Baskets, tin containers
- Floral foam (pre-soaked for 3 minutes)
- Floral picks (purchase from your local craft shop)
- Moss sheets (purchase from your local craft shop)
- Plastic baggie (if the basket do not have a plastic liner)
- Flowers (use your favorite flowers)
- Assorted (toy) bunny rabbits and baby chicks (purchased from your local craft shop)
- Glue Gun
- Knife
- Use a hot glue gun to add glue the outer shell of the basket.
- Cover the outer shell of the basket with sheet moss.
- Cut sheet moss according to the size of the basket.
- Line the interior of the basket with a plastic bag (you can use a grocery store plastic bag) if your basket is not lined.
- Presoak floral foam for 3 minutes
- Cut floral foam to fit the dimension of the basket
- Add flowers of your choice
- All embellishments such as a toy rabbit or baby chicks.
