Recycling for Easter Baskets

A great way to recycle plastic berry baskets is to transform them into decorative baskets for Easter. Berry baskets can be found in a wide variety of bright colors at your local supermarket

Supplies:
Plastic berry baskets
Pipe cleaners
Narrow ribbon
White craft glue (Elmers)

Directions:
Join two pipe cleaners together end to end to make a handle, twist into opposite sides of the basket and cover with a small bow made of ribbon

Weave the narrow ribbon through the slats and use white craft glue to secure the ends.

Now you can fill the basket with Easter grass, candy bunnies and eggs, cookies and small toys for gift giving.
