What we used to make the Easter Basket Craft
How we made the Easter Basket Craft
Below are the steps we used the make the Easter Basket with Easter Eggs.
Dot Marker the Paper Plate
You start off by using the dot marker on the plate. This is a great way to paint the plate. You could also watercolor paint the plate if you don’t have a brown dot marker.
You can see that we use a paper under the plate to keep the table clear. If you don’t want to do that I’ll let you know that a magic eraser cleans up the dot markers!
Punch Out the Ovals for the Easter Eggs
We used an oval punch to make the eggs. It is a quick and easy to make the eggs this way.
You can make the eggs ahead of time or let kids make them. You can see that you press the punch down.
Then you see the egg shape that it makes. The Easter Scrapbook Paper makes really fun eggs.
Glue Eggs on the Back of the Basket
After you have the eggs punched out and the paper plate is dry. Then you glue the eggs on the back of the basket. You can put a line of glue down and they put in the eggs in the order they want.
You can do one row or two rows of eggs.
If the glue is not keep the eggs in the basket, you can tape them on. We did this after we saw some of the eggs did not stay with the glue.
