Easter Treat Baskets

I love holidays, there are always so many fun things to do and make. Up until Easter I will post a fun activity a day that you can do with your family :O) Today me and my princess made little treat baskets for her brothers classroom. Here is what we used.

3 pieces of construction paper
Glue
Scissors
Ruler

Cut the construction paper in strips long ways
Take one strip and make a loop with it by gluing the ends together
To make the basket take strips attaching ends opposite of eachother

Continue till the basket is full

Then take more strips and weave them through
Attach a top strap for a handle.

These are so cheap and easy to make. With the amount of paper you cut you can make two baskets.

Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I like to dust mine …

I had never done this before and with a packed schedule it was very handy! My daughter loved sitting don and being able to pick out an entire outfit for under $25.
