Here is a quick and easy way to upcycle two empty soda boxes into an pop artish looking Easter basket that can be recycled once you are done with it. My son is in high school and collects Coca Cola memorabilia, so I will not be decorating this any further, but you could decorate it with Easter wrapping paper, magazine pages or even drawing a child has made. It cost me no money out of pocket and only took 10 minutes to make.

Instructions

  1. Small pbeb 2bbottom 2bbox

    Cut the top off of the box that you want to use as your basket.

  2. Small pbeb 2bcut 2bhandle 2bstrip 2bfrom 2b3 2bsides 2bof 2bbox

    Cut the handle from the other box - I made my handle about 4 inches wide and the length is two short sides and the long side of one. Cut two of these (I ended up having to piece together the handle on the inside when I glued it down as the box I used was pretty tore up).

  3. Small pbeb 2bhandle 2bst

    Use craft glue one the outside layer of the handle and glue the inside layer to the outside layer, then trim so they match up.

  4. Small pbeb 2bglue 2bhandle 2bto 2bbox

    Use the hot glue gun to glue the handle to the inside of the box on each side. Fill with Easter Grass and you are done!
