How to Assembly the Gift Basket with the Printables

  • Use a paper trimmer or scissors to trim off the excess paper from the printables.
  • Glue the mini flag on top of a wooden dowel.
  • Hole punch your gift tag and attach it to the gift using some baker’s twine, yarn, or ribbon.
  • Glue or tape your party favor labels to the tops of your party favors. If they aren’t the proper size for your bags, you can always resize them in your photo viewer program or trim the sides down as necessary.
  • Add floral foam or filler to the bottom of your bucket, if necessary.
  • Add one bag of grass on top of your foam (or as much as needed).
  • To make your bucket start by placing the taller and bigger items in the back of your basket. This includes your door hanger, mini flag, easter picks (if using), and instructions printables.
  • Work your way toward the front of the basket by layering medium-sized items in front of your bigger items, adding more easter grass between the items.
  • If you need to create some added height to make certain items seen more prominently,  you can add a small amount of shredded paper to that spot to raise it above the other items.
  • Finally, add your smallest items to the front of the bucket, such as plastic eggs and your small sign.
