How To Make A DIY Rain Boot Easter Gift Baskets

March 16, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

What better way to celebrate spring than with an Easter basket made with rain boots? This post is sponsored by Lone Cone.

If you want to do something a little different for Easter this year, why not gather up some fun toys and spring-related items to display in a pair of rain boots?

Kids seem to need a new pair of boots every year, and these Lone Cone rain boots (which you can buy on Amazon in solids and adorable prints) are both cure and super durable. They’re available in sizes for kids roughly ages 3 to 7.

For my rain boot Easter basket I hit the craft store and a discount store for supplies. Here’s what I ended up with:

  • Bubble wand and battery-powered bubble fan
  • Glow stick bracelets
  • Pot and flower seeds
  • Easter bunny cookie cutter
  • Wooden butterfly to paint

I also grabbed a set of battery-powered LED Easter lights and a spring flower wreath to decorate the boots, though of course that’s totally optional.

Putting together a rain boot Easter basket is totally simple; just put the items in the legs of the boots and you’re all set.

When I added the lights I stuck the battery pack into the bottom of the boot first, then wound the lights around the boots for extra cuteness. The wreath worked well to cover up some of the goodies inside.

You can do this instead of or in addition to a regular Easter basket for the candy. But wouldn’t an egg hunt be extra cute with all the kids hanging onto a boot?

Other items you might consider for your spring-themed Easter basket are:

  • Pinwheels
  • Butterfly or fairy wings
  • Items for a fairy garden
  • Seeds for the garden
  • Umbrella
  • Small outdoor game or foldable Frisbee

If you choose patterned boots from Lone Cone you can match the theme of the basket to the theme of the boots, such as dinosaurs, unicorns, sharks or space. And when the holiday is over your kid has a cute pair of boots to muck about in.

Check out the video for more on how this rain boot Easter basket came together.

How would you fill rain boots for an Easter basket?’

Thanks to Lone Cone for sponsoring this post!
