If you love to recycle and create craft projects then this post on how to make an easter basket from a grocery bag is perfect for you.

How To Make A Easter Basket From A Grocery Bag

I love creating crafts from recycling stuff around the house. Grocery bags are great for so many crafts.  I was researching online and found several things you can do with them. The one that stood out was the Easter basket by Lia Griffith. Since Easter is around the corner. I thought it is perfect to create a post on “how to make aa easter basket from a grocery bag”.

 Supplies you will need:

  • Grocery Bag
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Ruler

tutorial on How To Make A Easter Basket From A Grocery Bag

Step 1: This part I divided into 4 steps

  1. With a ruler and pencil measure 18  strips of 1.25 inches wide
  2. Cut 18 strips
  3. Glue 6 of the strips into 3 long ones.
  4. Fold remainder of 12 in half.

Step 1:

With 2 extra paper cuts (brace) clue 6 folded strips onto each brace.

Step 2:

Weave both together to form a base. Center and tighten the weave. Glue two more braces into ends of strips.

Step 3: 

Fold paper and crease at the edge of a weave on all four sides. Take the 3 long strips and weave them through the base over and over until you reach the top

Step 4:

At the ends trim each inside strip and fold-out tucking the strip under the top row strips. Repeating trim outside strips and fold inside and tuck under the top row strip

Step5:

Weave the handles of the grocery bag. Cut two square strips, 2 by 2 and glue the handles on each side.



I love how this project turned out. (For more recycling tips). If you shred paper at home you can use that shredded paper as a filler. You can shred color paper for more pop. I added colorful plastic eggs I found at the dollar store.

    What a neat idea to do with the kids and teach them about upcycling too. I hope I’ve got enough paper bags to play around with, otherwise, we’ll just have to dig into our wrapping paper stash 😉
