Easter Gift Basket: Chocolate Eggs and Tulle Square Vase

Easter gift basket
Holidays mean family dinners and gatherings, gifts, candies and joyful cheers. Whether you were invited out for an Easter Sunday meal or you were having the Easter feast over your place you will need this beautiful and easy to make chocolate egg basket.
My goal, through How to be Super Mom, is to encourage you super moms to make everything by yourself and I will teach you how to make this very simple Easter gift basket to offer it to a relative or a loved one.




Supplies Needed
  • 4 orange tulle square pieces ( 15 X15 cm)
  • 6 purple tissue papers ( 15X 15 cm)
  • 6 medium Easter chocolate eggs
  • 10 small Easter chocolate eggs( purchase your chocolate eggs from the collection we picked for you)
  • 1 pack of wooden sticks
  • Large purple plastic ribbon
  • Square bucket for decoration
  • Square oasis or a medium piece of clay
  • Glue Gun
  • Scissors

Directions
  • Place the oasis in the empty square bucket or wrap the piece of clay with a sandwich paper and place it inside the bucket.
  • Prepare all your needed accessories before starting to decorate your arrangement.
  • Cut the tulle and tissue papers in half, diagonally, forming 20 triangles in total.
  • Wrap each triangle to form a cone and glue the borders firmly.
  • Insert a wooden stick in each cone to form a support that will hold the paper cones in the clay or in the oasis.
  • The eggs need a support as well, so we need to insert a wooden stick in each one of them.
  • That done, our super moms are now ready to start decorating their Easter gift basket.
  • Start from the outside borders of the oasis, filling it with paper base and as long as you move towards the center start incorporating the eggs. 
  • You can use the picture as a sample.
  • Before gluing the ribbon to the vase or basket, place a small piece of duct tape to prevent the hot glue from scraping the surface. We always have to consider that the host might like to remove the arrangement and use the bucket or vase for something else. 

I have had a long professional experience in flower and chocolate arrangements and I am more than happy to share the secret tricks for free with all of my fans. How to be Super Mom is the only blog ready to offer free help to all mothers around the world. I will provide you with all the information I know about Easter decorations, crafting and cooking.

Easter Gift Basket: Candies and Flowers


How to be Super Mom main idea is to help you mothers in all fields, and give you the necessary information to help you become a master of every domain: cooking, crafting, parenting, etc.
Easter is coming soon, and with the holidays comes along the excessive spending. We all set a budget limit but when we are faced with the happy occasion we find ourselves obligated to make unexpected purchases. My goal is to teach how to do things by yourself to lower the budget you spend and make original and unique Easter gift basket.
You don’t have to pay a fortune to buy Easter gift baskets. I will teach you how to make your own from very simple ideas. All you need is a little bit of techniques, creativity, Easter accessories and you can decorate a beautiful Easter gift basket to offer to your family and friends.
The basket we have here is very easy to make. A touch of good taste and lots of quality candies and chocolates will make the deal.

Easter gift basket

Supplies

  • A basket of your choice
  • Candies of your choice
  • 4 star flowers
  • 4 white Gerberas
  • a bouquet of greens of your choice
  • Easter Ribbon
  • Small square oasis

Directions 
  • To make your easter gift basket, you should start by straightening the oasis in its place on the left side of the basket.
  • The oasis should be wet to help flowers stay hydrated and fresh.
  • Start by cutting the flowers to three different sizes. 
  • Place the small ones on the lower side of the oasis, following the picture, and the longer ones towards the top. 
  • Fill the empty spaces with the greens you have chosen.
