Get ready for Easter Sunday with this super cute craft and lots of other fun Easter ideas for eggs, baskets, brunch, dinner, and more.

Easter Ideas

What you will need to make your own candy box Easter Baskets is in this picture below. However, I have it displayed in list form towards the bottom of the page.

Hot Glue all 4 candy boxes together to make a square. It’s best to use Movie theater style candy boxes which you can find at Walmart and the Dollar Store.

Cut a square piece of cardboard to fit the bottom of your candy boxes. Hot glue it on to the bottom.

Next, glue the ends of the laffy taffy ropes or nerd ropes to one side of the candy boxes and then do the same on the opposite side. (This becomes the handle) Then, tie the candy handle together with some pretty ribbon.

Fill the bottom with Easter grass.

Add your favorite treats, toys, and Easter eggs for a perfect candy box Easter basket.

Think outside the box 😉 This makes a perfect Easter Basket for your older children (college age kids) that say they don’t need anything, but their face lights up when they get an Easter basket too.

My oldest son always tells me he’s too old for Valentine’s gifts and Easter baskets, but he sure does enjoy digging into his candy box when he gets one. You’re never too old to enjoy a little something special.
