Last Updated on 2022-03-28 by Linda

It is almost Easter and guess what that means? Candy and chocolate and well Candy.  I am a  holiday fiend and always on the hunt for fun ideas.  Tablescapes, napkin folds and wreaths have been fun crafts to share but I wanted something new.  Apothecary Jars have been shared.  Kate Spade Eggs were tried and so were Mason Jar Vases. What could I try in 2019?  Edible Easter Candy Baskets seemed a cool craft to try.

Edible Easter Candy Baskets

Funny thing, I picked up all the craft supplies last year and never completed the basket oops.  It seemed a relatively simple concept, create an Easter Basket using candy.  The possibilities are endless, and the colour scheme whatever you want.  I used nerds Mike and Ike boxes because of the bright colours.

It was a relatively simple craft and one I truly believe the kids would love.  Candy, cardboard, hot glue and pipe cleaners.
