“This sweet basket upgrade gives any round wicker style a hare’s pair,” Stewart wrote on Instagram. The chef then explained how to give the Easter basket its festive bunny face: ” 🐰 Bend floral wire into two loops, add a center wire, stick the ends into the wicker near the handles, and secure them all with hot glue. Then work matching raffia ribbon over, under, and around the wires, from bottom to top. Poke taupe and coral raffia ribbon through the front to “stitch” on eyes and a scrunchy nose—a face so cute, it’ll make any recipient believe in the Easter rabbit.”

Sure, this is a bit more work than just heading to your local store and purchasing an Easter basket — but this DIY version is sure to put a smile on your kid’s face and be worth the added effort.
