Easter Basket Crafts

If you want unusual Easter basket crafts, there are fabric baskets, buckets, terracotta pot baskets and many other kinds.

It can be fun to use an unusual container for a basket. I have seen cowboy and straw hats turned upside down and filled with grass and Easter goodies.

In stores you will see dump trucks, baseball gloves and sand pails used.

For a little girl you could fill a doll cradle, stroller or buggy with doll related items.
