How Do You Make Milk Carton Easter Baskets?
Use school lunch milk cartons to make cute little Easter baskets that are perfect for a class party. Step 1 Save empty milk cartons from school lunches or use 8-ounce whipping cream containers. Step 2 Wash the cartons thoroughly and allow them to air dry. Step 3 Cut off the entire slanted top of the carton, leaving a square without a top. Step 4 Have participants decorate a strip of tagboard that will be the basket’s handle. Step 5 Staple or glue the tagboard to the inside of two sides of the carton to create a handle. Step 6 Allow the participants to decorate the cartons as they wish. Provide colored paper, ribbon, glue, bits of fabric, colored tissue paper and stickers. Step 7 Try covering the outside of the carton with cotton balls. Create a face on one side out of construction paper, using pipe cleaners for whiskers and jelly beans for eyes to make a bunny. Step 8 Fill the baskets with Easter grass and add candy as a treat.
