Hand Painted Easter Papier Mache Basket

  • These baskets can be decorated in a number of ways. Use the steps below as a decorative guide and mix up the techniques to create a unique combination of your own!
  • Step 1Paint your basket in bright colours. Look to our design for inspiration or come up with your own! Allow to dry.
  • If you are unsure about your design, try drawing it on paper first.
  • Step 3Cut strips of craft paper and attach to your basket with glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Add detail with a black fineliner.
  • Step 5Add some sparkle to your basket by painting glue on your basket and sprinkling glitter over the wet glue. Shake off any excess glitter. Allow to dry.
  • For less glitter wastage, use a scrap piece of paper folded in half to catch the glitter falling off the basket while decorating. This will make it easy to tip the glitter back into the container ready to reuse!
  • Step 7If you plan to give the basket as a gift, line it with some tissue paper before placing your gift inside.
