Inexpensive Easter Basket Ideas

With only 2 days before Easter, I finally finished putting together my boys' Easter baskets.

I HAD to create something on the cheap, so I went to the good ole' Dollar Store, the other day, and found these baskets:

Which I plan on re-using for more organizing. ;) they won't mind... all they want is the candy.) I also bought some of this:

 

only because I was out of it (and I use this for a LOT of things) I'll re-use this too ;)

I found a package of these marshmallow twists and I made this out of them:

I just tied raffia ribbon around them to hold the two together. Super Easy AND a great reminder of the TRUE meaning of Easter!!

I stuffed the basket with the  paper shred, eggs and candy and one little toy (also from the dollar tree.) I used cellophane wrap...

...which I had in my lil' gift wrap station and wrapped it around the basket.  Then tied raffia ribbon around the cellophane and the cross and ...

...added a fun little Easter tag (which I made FREE for my lovely readers, at the bottom of this post.)

AND VOILA...

I made four simple, easy and inexpensive Easter baskets for my boys to "hunt for" on Easter morn.
