These charming miniature bird baskets can be constructed in next to no time for a sweet Easter Sunday surprise. All you need are a few simple supplies – here’s what we used, but other similar products would serve just as well.

E. Crepe paper twist ties. P.Work

HOW-TO:
1. Wrap a twist tie around a small glass to create the handle shape for your basket.
2. Using a hot glue gun, dab 2 dots of glue on the inside of a cupcake paper, then stick the handle in place.
3. Fill the basket with Sizzle Shred and top with plenty of pretty mini chocolate eggs.
4. Place a miniature bird magnet on top of the twist tie handle, where she’ll stay perched until you set her free.
