Step-by-step process for making a balloon Easter basket

1. You will start by soaking your yarn in a bowl full liquid detergent. You want your yarn to be fully saturated, making it where the yarn will be totally firm by the time it’s dried.

2. Blow up your balloon and begin wrapping your saturated string around the balloon. I found that going criss-cross around the balloon tightly was the best method.

3. Let dry. Because you are using yarn and the balloon is large this will take about 24 hours. Using a fan helps ensure the yarn is fully dry and firm!

 4. Once your yarn is fully dry, use a pin to pop the balloon inside. This makes the basic balloon Easter basket frame.

5. Next, grab scissors and cut a large hole in the front, creating an opening for all your yummy MARS candy!

6. Set out your balloon Easter basket with all your best MARS candy and enjoy.

Just like you created the large balloon Easter basket you will do with these little minis.

  • Instead of using yarn we used embroidery floss
  • Small water balloon sized balloons were used in place of the large one

Then fill with some of your favorite MARS individually wrapped Easter candy!

Here’s another DIY Easter basket that would be fun to create alongside these ones.
