Instructions
1
Find out about the origins of the Easter basket. Why is the egg a symbol of birth, life, and hope? What spring festivals, in countries around the world, include the egg in their celebrations? Here's one way to make your own egg basket.
2
On construction paper, draw a large egg with Crayola® Colored Pencils. Cut it out with Crayola® Scissors. Trace and cut out a second identical egg.
3
Using colored pencils, decorate one side of each egg. Use your imagination to create spring or Easter patterns. Add Crayola® Glitter Glue to enhance your designs. Dry.
4
Cut or fold a paper lunch bag to about half its size for a basket, or use it full size to carry more items. Attach the decorated paper eggs to the front and back of the bag using Crayola® Glue Sticks.
5
To create a handle, punch a hole on either side of the bag and insert a chenille stick. Twist the ends to secure the handle.
