Paper Cup Mini Easter Baskets – DIY Gift Idea
The weather is starting to turn beautiful here in Wyoming and stores are pushing out their new spring lines.
Every where I turn, I see fun pastel colors and floral prints. Are you getting ready for spring, like they are?
Although Easter seems so far away – it’s going to creep up on us fast. Like REAL FAST! So on that note, it’s time to start thinking {and planning} for celebrations we might have in honor of the holiday.
Today I’m sharing an EASY {but impressive} party favor craft that you can whip up in less than an hour. I call them “mini Easter baskets made out of paper cups!”
They are perfect for filling with small sweet treats or even a colored, hard boiled egg. And of course – you can change up the colors to reflect your Easter/spring color scheme. Just grab a pack of paper cupcake liner cups and make a few for friends, family and maybe a complete stranger. I just hope you are inspired by the tutorial below!
Happy crafting, my dear friends! If you don’t mind, I would LOVE to see pictures of what you create, so be sure to tag us on Facebook or Instagram! It seriously makes my day to hear from you!

The Simple Directions:
* First grab ONE paper cup per gift you want to make today.
* On each cupcake liner cup, punch two holes across from each other.
* Take one end of a pipe cleaner and thread it through the hole you just made.
* Secure it with a knot, so it won’t come out.
* Repeat for the other side of the paper cup, with the same pipe cleaner. This is now the handle for the basket.
* The last step is to place a small piece of tissue paper inside the cupcake liner and along with the desired treats.
* Repeat these steps for each mini gift basket you want to make today.
* Then gift away!
