I love all the frugal and upcycled Easter basket projects. One other tip I found to “green” up your Easter is to use recycled paper or plastic bags for your grass inside the basket. Don’t buy grass but rather use some materials you may have on hand. It’s frugal and so much more eco-friendly. Thanks for the link back to my crocheted Easter basket. I appreciate the link love. Happy Easter!
