Easter basket ideas

Easter is coming soon — are you filling Easter baskets?

Do you hate plastic Easter grass with a passion like I do?

We’ve got some suggestions for alternatives that you might have at home! We even sourced these baskets second-hand, for a more sustainable holiday gift.

And if you are looking for Easter gift ideas, we’ve got those, too!

Handkerchiefs: We have some amazing ones hand-sewn and hand-printed from intricate cut paper images. We’ve also got some fun vintage ones!

Fabric scraps: use something green, cut it into strips like spaghetti, and boom! Grassy just like when you were a kid.

Fabric pieces: Something new or something old. Something springy or something that you just like.

Images show second-hand baskets with items available for sale at Make It Sew: Notebooks, scrunchies, sustainable cleaning textiles, Zkano socks, potholder kits, and sewing supplies.
