You can use recycled milk jugs to make fun Easter crafts and decorations, and it is rewarding and important to use recycled items when creating crafts projects.

Milk jugs are something that many people throw away, but they can be turned into many festive holiday decor items.

Here are the instructions for creating a recycled milk jug Easter Basket.

Instructions

Start by cutting the milk jug in half, and remember to cut the milk jug right below the handle to make a good sized handle from the left over piece. Cut a strip a strip out of the top half of the milk jug going up toward the mouth and around back again to the bottom of the other side. Staple the handle to the basket.

Using the paint and the paintbrush decorate the Easter basket in a basket weave pattern. There are several different styles you can choose, and you can research different patterns on the Internet if you like. You can also go for a more natural look and paint a woven branch style basket if you like. When the paint has dried on your Easter milk jug craft fill it with other fun Easter decorations.
