Clover and Eggs Easter Basket

This fanciful green meadow vignette seems a fitting home for a chocolate bunny.

His eyes (dabs of tinted royal icing) and bow-tie (ribbon with a glued-on rosette)
match his surroundings.

To assemble: set a plastic liner inside a vintage green basket, add some soil, and then plant a bed of clover. If you can't find a green basket, give a plain one a color wash.

For a basket that's deeper than about six inches, fill the bottom with crumpled-up kraft paper before putting in the plastic liner.

Nestle a collection of green-dyed blown-out eggs among the plants, then add green picot-edged silk ribbon bows to drape down the basket's sides.
