Easter Basket In A Jar!

  If you're looking for an Easter Basket Alternative, I've got the perfect solution.
Easter Basket in a Jar
This idea is perfect for your grown children, spouse, or as an Easter dinner/party favor.  Here's how to make one:
Start with a recycled jar.  I used this one:
The jar was washed, label removed, and the lid sprayed with gold paint.  A chocolate bunny, jelly beans, and Easter grass were purchased, and we were ready to go!
A handful of grass was pushed into the jar.
The chocolate bunny was place on the grass.
Jelly beans were sprinkled around the bunny.
The lid was screwed back on and the jar was finished!
Then I decided to add some ribbon!
There are many variations for this idea.  Chocolate eggs, Peeps, a gift card, or cash could be added to the jar.  It all depends on how much you want to spend.  Which brings me to the cost:
Chocolate Bunny:  $0.98
Jelly Beans:                  1.98
Easter Grass:                  .38
Jar:                                         0
Total:                             $3.34   
I almost forgot, the ribbon was in my stash, so it was free.

How's that for a bargain?

  3. What a fun idea, Ann! I don't know why I forget that jars can really be used for so much more than what was originally in them. I may do this for my own grown kids! <3

    Such a cute idea!!! Happy to be on the tour with you. :)

    Happy 10 on the 10th,
    Hugs,
    Barb :)

  14. Ann, what a creative way to show off a chocolate bunny and an Easter scene. Maybe this would keep us from eating the bunny!!

  17. That's really cute. Do you have Aldi supermarkets where you are? They have packs of 5 chocolate bunnies for just £1 here (just FYI, I guess not such great value if you have to fly 3000 miles to get them!!)

    1. Thanks, Julie. We do have Aldi's here, but I never thought to look there for chocolate bunnies! You are right, a 3000 mile flight would be cost-prohibitive, but, we could finally meet! Maybe someday.... 😊
