Make this Cute Easter Basket With Me Today. Choose Happy. Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln, UK.
Easter crafting is one of my favourites, and today I’m sharing how to make these adorably cute Easter baskets that are perfect for holding chocolate treats, small gifts, or even table favours. They’re fun to make, easy to customise, and look absolutely lovely using patterned paper and simple punches.
Whether you’re crafting for Easter gifts, party favours, or just because you love cute 3D projects, this basket is a must-try!
A Sweet Easter Basket Design
These baskets are made using the Homemade Sweetness DSP, which gives them that classic, cosy feel while still looking fresh and cheerful. I love how the patterns work beautifully for spring and Easter projects.
To add a pop of colour, I created cardstock handles for each basket. One basket features Calypso Coral, while the other uses Strawberry Slush. Both colours coordinate perfectly with the patterned paper and help each basket feel unique while still matching as a set.

The Cutest Bunny Focal Point
The focal image on each basket is this sweet little rabbit from the Choose Happy stamp set. It’s simple, playful, and just right for Easter projects. I stamped the bunny and punched it out using circle punches, then layered it onto a coordinating cardstock circle to give it a little extra definition and help it stand out against the basket.
This is a great example of how you don’t need complicated dies to create a polished look—punches can be just as effective!

A Fun Way to Add Texture
Inside each basket, I added crinkled paper to hold the chocolate eggs. This is actually old copier paper that I ran through a crimper and then popped through a hand shredder. It’s a brilliant way to recycle paper and add texture without needing any specialist products.
Not only does it look great, but it also helps keep the treats snugly in place—practical and pretty!
Perfect for Gifts and Table Favours
These Easter baskets are ideal for:
- Easter gifts for friends and family
- Children’s Easter treats
- Table favours for Easter lunch or parties
- Craft fair or handmade gift ideas
They’re sturdy, reusable, and can be adapted for other occasions simply by changing the paper and sentiment.
Try It Yourself
This is such a fun project to make, and once you’ve created one, you’ll want to make lots more! You can easily mix and match DSP, colours, and stamped images to suit your own style or theme.
