If you want to get really creative, take an empty soda container and cut it right above the base. Decorate the soda container with some construction paper.

If you want to do something environmentally safe for Easter, then make your basket using an old cardboard box. Make sure to clean it properly and take the scissors to cut it and make a base. Glue some construction paper on the outside along with ribbons or other decorative items to make it look nice. You can colour the box using the crayons.
