5 Unique Ways to Decorate with Handwoven Baskets at Easter

Easter is the perfect opportunity to decorate with handwoven baskets, to celebrate the season. Maybe you've got some handwoven baskets that you'd like to repurpose temporarily as Easter decor. Or perhaps you want some new artisan basketware to beautify your Easter tablescape? Either way, you're in the right place, as our artisanal handwoven baskets are so versatile, you’ll enjoy them for many years to come. Read on for The Basket Room's best ways to decorate with handwoven baskets this Easter.

Decorate Your Handwoven Easter Basket 

No Easter is complete without a beautifully decorated Easter basket ready for the Easter egg hunt. Decorating our ethically produced Mini Market Baskets with your little ones will become a family tradition you'll all look forward to each year. We love making a 'nest' of shredded pastel paper - you can use your shredder if you have one. Then add fresh spring flowers, and a multitude of slim ribbons woven around the handle. You could even attach some reusable eggs with wire. Let your imagination run riot! It's a lovely craft activity to keep children occupied in the run up to Easter.

Then enjoy watching them excitedly dashing about the garden with ribbons streaming behind them, as they gather up their eggs. After the eggs have disappeared, they can use the baskets to keep all their precious collections of shells and stones safe.

Display Your Handmade Easter Treats in a Handmade Trinket Basket

Easter is an ideal time to whip up some treats - because when else can you enjoy chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Making some Easter-themed no-bake chocolate nests is an exciting activity for children, and just as fun as an adult. Once they're set, pop them into our Mini Sisal Trinket Baskets to display in our unique handwoven baskets, which are made in rural Kenya by women's basket weaving co-operatives. After Easter, they're ideal for keeping your jewellery and trinkets safe and close at hand.

Coordinate your Easter Table with Handwoven Placemats, Coasters, and Bread Baskets

What could be prettier than starting off your Easter celebrations by coming down to a delicious breakfast spread, beautifully decorated with authentic handcrafted baskets? Start by spreading a white or pastel-toned tablecloth over the table and add handwoven placemats like our VUME: Natural Woven Flower Shaped Placemat. The simple flower shape lends a celebratory air to your table and is the ideal foundation for your tablescape.

Next, lay your coasters. Our BLUSH dusky pink and natural woven coasters bring a gentle pop of colour and texture. Our artisan coasters are naturally water and stain resistant because they're made from lutindzi grass, which has a waxy finish. 

Finally, add a bread basket, ready to fill with warm rolls, or perhaps a hot cross bun. Our NATURAL white trim bread basket is a timeless classic you’ll love for years to come. Pop in a pretty cloth to set off your baked goods, add some pretty napkins and cutlery to your table, and you’re ready to serve your Easter feast. 

Elevate your Easter Tablescape with a Woven Basket Floral Centrepiece 

Now it's your chance to get creative, by creating a floral centrepiece that will give your Easter tablescape a breathtaking look. It can be as simple or as complex as you like. The beauty of flowers is that they always look gorgeous, so you can't go wrong! It's a fresh way to decorate with handwoven baskets this Easter basket. 

Use a woven basket tray as a decorative centrepiece at Easter

Here are some basket centrepiece ideas to spark your imagination, using our new SENYA: Natural Round Woven Drinks Serving Tray as your centrepiece.

1. Place a hurricane lamp or pillar candle in a tall glass jar to the middle of the woven tray. Surround it with foliage from your garden. Add some sprigs of gypsophila (also known as baby's breath) weaving them through the foliage at roughly even intervals. You can leave it there for a simple, rustic look, or continue adding spring buds and blooms. 

2. Use a set of battery operated string lights - the kind on bendable copper wire - to make a wreath shape around the end of the basket serving tray. Instead of fresh foliage, use dried flowers, weaving them through the string lights. Then pop a smaller basket of treats in the centre.

Decorate Your Home with Baskets of Flowers for Easter

Decorate Your Home with Baskets of Flowers for Easter - Kitendo Green Basket

Fresh flowers in a basket? It's possible, if you add a glass or jam jar to one of our unique extra small sisal baskets. Then you can carefully fill the glass with water and arrange your floral display. The handwoven finish of the basket gives a unique texture and tactile quality. These handwoven baskets come in a wide variety of shades, so you can complement your decor long after Easter, adding Kenyan texture and colour to your home. 

This idea also works for dried flowers, adding spring charm to your home for many months.
