If you'd like to avoid the candy overdose on Easter this year try this easy alternative to an Easter Basket.

You'll Need:

• Small divided container
• Scissors
• Glue
• Ribbon
• Decorative paper
• Stickers or other embellishments
• Small treasures for filling, (gift cards, Post-its, hair doodads, costume jewelry, matchbox cars—find things that fit the person you're giving it to).

All supplies are available at The Dollar Tree and KMart in Edgewater.

First, cut decorative paper to fit the top and bottom and adhere to container. Add stickers or embellishments to your preference. Fill container with whatever you wish and tie a bow around it. That's it!

This project doubles as a great gift for anytime of the year, the possibilities are endless!
