Easter Basket Crafts

My girls love waking up Easter morning to do the Easter egg hunt the Easter bunny leaves for them each year {he uses these cards}. Of course to collect their eggs they need an Easter basket and we reuse the same ones each year. However, if you don't want to buy one, you can make one of these crafty Easter baskets that actually hold eggs.
