All you need to make this cuteĀ spring baset craft are a few simple materials you probably already have on hand at home.

Supplies:

We found paper shreds at the dollar store. They are often available in paper and metallic shreds. You may also be able to find Easter grass in the seasonal sections of most stores, or you can even use left over colored tinsel.

Note: If using water bottles, an adult will need to cut off the bottom of the bottle to the desired size. I do this by poking a hole in the side with scissors, sliding one side in, and cutting all the way around.

Here are directions for each craft. To make them into a basket, simply hot glue a pipe cleaner to each side.
