This DIY Candy Easter Basket is fun and different idea to make the Kids. This is so simple to make and we guarantee that your kids will love this much more than a regular Easter basket.

Easter is one of my favorite holidays and I really look forward to it all year. It means Spring and warmer weather is here and it’s a much more relaxed holiday than say, Christmas. This Easter idea was a really fun one to create.

DIY Candy Easter Basket

Here is how we made this unique Easter basket made entirely out of candy. You cam follow along exactly or you can use any candy boxes that you like as long as they match up in size on the sides and end.

Here Is What You Will Need

• 1 Snickers Chocolate Bunny
• 1 Reese’s Chocolate Bunny
• 1 Box of Sour Patch Bunnies
• 1 Box of Swedish Fish
• 1 Nerd’s Rope
• 1 package of Paper Grass (any color)
• 1 Sheet of Card Stock
• Glue
• Tape

How To Make A Candy Box Easter Basket

1. Glue the ends of the candy boxes with the shorter boxes on the ends like in the photo here.

2. Let that set to dry about 15 minutes if you use regular glue. To make this quicker (and to make the hold a bit stronger) you can use a glue gun.

3. Cut a piece of card stock paper to fit the bottom and attach it with glue as well.

4. Add a piece of tape to the ends of your Nerds rope.

5. Press the taped ends in the middle of your small boxes as shown.

6. Fill the box with paper grass.

7. Then, fill the Candy Basket with plastic eggs, Jelly Beans, candy or little toys and trinkets.

Here is a view of the basket from the top.

My boys absolutely loved their Candy Easter Basket! You can get really creative and make an individualized basket for each kiddo using their favorite treats.
