One of my very favorite parts of Easter is putting together Easter baskets to give as gifts.
This year I decided to do something a little bit different and put together some Easter Crates. I like how they turned out and hope you can find some inspiration from them too.
First, I started out with some small crates and painted them. Then I added some plain and colored Easter grass to each of them.
I adore the bright colors for Spring...turquoise, melon, yellow, and spring green. I always buy my craft paints from Benjamin Moore. LOVE their shades.
I put a list and pictures of each of my baskets and what I put in them so you can see each item, plus the basket all put together. Hope you enjoy looking. {grin} There are LOTS of pictures!

Sara -- I just LOVE these! Funny, I just did a post about Easter containers. I am not a fan of the typical basket and grass. This is SO adorable? Do you mind if I share this on my post? I will link back to you.
Hi Sara, I just did a post too on Easter but it reflected the Symbols of Easter (i.e. the cross, praying hands, lamb). I had found some amazingly talented bloggers who created these same symbols using candy molds. I'm not that creative so I looked for candy already made that I could buy.
Love your beautifully colored crafts. They really pop on the monitor!
These are so, so cute! I love a good basket put together. You've got such darling items. I'm going to do one of these for sure this Easter. Thanks so much for sharing! Enjoy your day.
COOL!
I would LOVE it if you shared this in my Linky Party! You can find it here: http://littlemomprairie.blogspot.com/p/blog-round-up.html

Super cute! Love the crate idea and especially LOVE the seed packets!!! I'm totally stealing that for next year for my kiddos. :)
