Is it me or this year just flying by? I’m officially 32 weeks in my pregnancy and I’m trying to prep for anything and everything in advance. I’ll most likely be having baby girl right before Easter and I’m looking to find ways to still have our Easter egg hunt even though I will be exhausted. We’ve been having Easter egg hunts since I had Evan (my oldest) and the boys (plus now Olivia) have always loved the thrill of finding the eggs and gathering as much candy as they possibly can. In an effort to continue the tradition, I decided to make a DIY Easter Bunny basket filled with MARS® Mixed Mini Bags (available at Sam’s Club now). I always head to Sam’s Club early to prep for any special occasion, just as I am with Easter.
The MARS® Mixed Mini Bags 165ct Spring themed bags are perfect to build Easter basket and will be more than enough to fill the DIY Easter bunny basket. It’s enough candy for an early treat and then later when we do the Easter egg hunt! I love that the MARS® Mixed Mini Bags has such a great variety of everyone’s favorite chocolate candy like M&M’S®, TWIX®, SNICKERS®, MILKY WAY®, and 3 MUSKETEERS® that I might even make a basket for each one of the kids to store all their goodies! This Easter will be a lot of fun to watch the big guys run around with Joseph and Olivia and include them in their egg hunt.
I had a lot of fun making the DIY Easter Bunny basket. It’s easy enough to even make with kids!
Supplies:
Small round wreath
Medium pointed wall basket
Pipe cleaners
Scissors
Glue
Wired bow
Large pom pom
Easter grass
Instructions:
Take two pipe cleaners, wrap around the bottom of the small wreath and attach to the pointed wall wreath.
Hang baskets and tie bow onto the same spot and cover pipe cleaners.
Take two pipe cleaners, attach and bend into the shape of bunny ears. Repeat. **Don’t worry about bunny ears being even I purposely left mine two different sizes. Attach to the top of small wreath.
Adjust ears and bow. Glue on your pom pom.
Add a pretty flower, stuff with Easter grass and candy from the MARS® Mixed Mini Bags and you’re good to go!
Pin this DIY Easter Bunny Basket for later!
Add a sweet treat to any room with this DIY Easter bunny basket filled with M&M’S®, TWIX®, SNICKERS®, MILKY WAY®, and 3 MUSKETEERS® from MARS® Mixed Mini Bags on a door, in the kitchen or even a play room. Then after Easter, you can even use the DIY Easter Bunny basket for hanging a plant or pretty flowers!
How cute is this! What an adorable way to display your candy and decorate for the upcoming holiday! Love it
I LOVE how creative this is! I think my kids would love it too, or if not, it’s definitely cute enough for me own 😉
This is adorable and seems relatively simple to put together! I love the pointed bottom with the little bunny tail attached and I know my kids would love to find all those sweet treats inside!
That basket is so pretty although it was hard for me to get past the photos of all that chocolate! Those are some of my favorites – any time of the year!
What a cute basket. Thank you for the step by step pictures. That helps when you are trying it out on your own. I can’t believe Easter is on its way!
I love this! What a great craft idea for Easter. It looks so easy to make.
What a fun DIY Easter basket. I love how creative and perfect it is for Easter. Your instructions and photos are great.
This is so adorable! Perfect for Easter and even as a gift. I really want that chocolate though! 🙂
That is super cute. Plus yum all that chocolate makes it even more appealing. I must try to do this myself.
Aww, this basket is the best! It’s definitely a cute idea for Easter and you’ll be able to use it every year.
How cute is that!
When our kids celebrated their first Easter we got them a basket and we have re-used them year after year.
This Easter bunny basket is so sweet!!
Easter is coming soon. I always try to get my nephews a nice little basket. Looking forward to it again this year.
How cute are these! I would want an Easter basket that looks like this and you could use it for decorations during Easter time!
What a super cute craft idea! I may try this… (and fill it up with SNICKERS of course!)
