Macaroni Made ~ Water Bottle Bunny Basket

A frugal, fun Easter craft

By Michelle Melnik April 9, 2014
This basket is the perfect size for a place setting (simply add utensils and a napkin). It's also the perfect size for giving small treats, such as a small bag of Easter cookies, candy, or cupcake.

What you need:
  • empty water bottle
  • card stock or construction paper
  • ribbon
  • pipe cleaners
  • pom-poms
  • googly eyes
  • any other craft items you want to use up

What you do:

Cut off the top of an 8-oz. water bottle, and cover it with card stock in the color of your choice. Cut bunny ears from card stock and attach to the back of the water bottle. Use pipe cleaners, pom-poms and googly eyes to give your bunny a face and whiskers. Make a handle for your basket from pipe cleaners or ribbon.

Fill with treats and share with a friend!
