How to Make Homemade Easter Basket

Choose a theme for the person you’re giving the Easter basket to.
Pick out the perfect “basket” to hold the candy and gifts you want to give to them.
Add “grass” to your basket.
Arrange the candy and gifts so that the bigger items are towards the back.
Fill in the rest of the basket with jelly beans and smaller items.
Wrap your basket in cellophane and tie a pretty ribbon around the top to secure it all.
