Today we are going to create an Easter basket for a boy. And it is going to be a dinosaur
theme because this little boy who is going to get the basket is very very in to dinosaurs
right now. And I couldn't find a dinosaur themed basket out at the market. They have
tons of choices but it?s a really good option to create your own basket if you have something
that is unique to the child that you are giving it to. And it?s very easy to do. Requires
very few supplies. You are going to need a basket that you can get at basket store or
a crafting store. Sometimes even at discounts stores you can pick some up very inexpensively.
And also, throughout the year if you get gift baskets, go ahead and once you have used what
came in them, don't throw them out. Just keep them in the garage or in a closet and they
are very useful throughout the year to make all kinds of gift baskets. Not just at Easter
time but all throughout the year. So, you need a basket, and then some grass. And I
am going to use this green paper grass. And again, you can pick this up at crafting store
or a super market. During Easter, you can pick it up at a super market but year round,
it is available at crafting stores and fabric stores. Places like that and specialty shops.
So, you can go ahead and use some grass and usually a bag will do it if you are just making
one basket. And you just put your grass in. And you don't have to fill the whole basket
in because remember you are going to put all of your items around there. So you want to
leave room. While you want things to show, you don't want things toppling out of the
sides. So go ahead and get your basket and your grass and your items and when we come
back, I will show you how to create a very adorable little dinosaur basket.
