What’s going into YOUR Easter baskets?

Here is a quick an easy carrot of an idea using our cone bags. 

1)  Take a 7x15 cone bag.

2)  Fill ¾ with cheese puffs or small cheddar type crackers.

3)  Secure the top of the bag closed by twisting and then tying a ribbon knot very tight.  (You can add ribbon curls by using a ribbon shredder).

4)  Place carrots on top of green shred in your favorite Easter basket.

Basket Fun

What’s going into YOUR Easter basket?

Well besides filling up the basket with eggs and treats , you got to help out the bunny with some basket shred.

It’s so easy to use.  Just place it in the bottom of your basket.

And we have FUN Easter colors.

We say basket shred, you say basket shred, we all say basket shred!  

March is basket shred month at Creative Packaging, and we have lots of great ideas for filling your gift baskets.

It’s that swirly whirly curly stuff that goes on the bottom of your gift  basket before you put your yummy treats on top.

It’s really easy to use, grab a handful, place in the bottom of your basket. Then put all your yummy treats or gifts on top.
