DIY Easter Craft: Pastel Tie-Dye Easter Baskets

What you need:

Tulip Pastel Party Tie-Dye Kit

Tulip Puff Paints

Easter basket liner

Plastic wrap or plastic bag

Wire rack (optional)

Step 1 Prewash Basket Liner and Prepare Work Area for Tie Dye

Before you get started on this DIY Easter craft, cover your work area with a protective surface cover and prewash your Easter basket liner. Prepare your pastel tie-dye according to package instructions.

Step 2 Fold and Bind your Easter Basket Liner

Place the Easter basket liner onto a wire rack above your protective surface cover. Fold and bind the liner using your desired tie-dye technique. For this DIY Easter craft, Craft Box Girls used the simple crumple technique.

Step 3 Apply Pastel Tie Dye to Easter Basket Liner

Apply desired colors of pastel tie-dye to your Easter basket liner. Use gloved hands to work the dye into the fabric as needed.

Step 4 Wrap Basket Liner in Plastic and Allow to Set

Once you’ve finished applying the pastel tie-dye, wrap the Easter basket liner in plastic wrap or place it in a sealed plastic bag. Allow the dyes to set for 6 to 8 hours or overnight for more intense color.

Step 5 Rinse, Wash and Dry then Place Liner in Basket

Once the pastel tie dye has set, rinse, wash in cool water with a little laundry detergent, and dry your Easter basket liner. Place the liner back into the Easter basket and tie as needed.

Step 6 Use Puff Paints to Customize Baskets with Names

Use Puff Paints to customize this DIY Easter craft with your kids’ names and puffy accent patterns! Allow the paints to dry completely, then fill the pastel tie-dye Easter basket with treats. Now you’re ready for an unforgettable Easter Sunday!
