What you need — Clear plastic Chinese take-out container (at local craft stores), spool of ribbon, scissors, purple permanent marker or paint pen, craft knife and cutting mat.

How to make – Cut four half-inch vertical slits along each side of container. The slits should start one-half inch below the top of the container. Cut a length of ribbon 2 ½ times the circumference of the box. Thread the ribbon through the slits in the box and tie in a bow at the front of the box. Write Happy Easter on the front of the box.

Cut four 6-inch lengths of ribbon and tie each to the handle of the box. Refer to the photo for placement.
