I am always looking for new ideas for Easter favors. When I ran across a photo of these sweet paper containers to hold favors for any holiday, I was sold.

Do you make Easter favors or baskets?

Since the “Easter bunny” provides baskets for the littles in my life, these sweet treat holders were the perfect thing to provide as a part of my Easter table scape.

Fun. Happy. Easy.

This Peter Rabbit paper was my inspiration for these sweet paper containers.

And who doesn’t love a great Peter Rabbit anything?

When my boys were little, I brought them back Peter Rabbit mugs from a trip to England. Lots of hot chocolate and milk were enjoyed from those little mugs.

Today?

Can’t wait to fill these with treats and treasures and have at each place setting for Easter lunch.

Here’s how easy it is!
