This Easter Wood Crate Candy Holder With Chick would be fun to make as a treat holder just using some dies and glue! Something a little bit different than a bunny! Make the paper crate, add some Easter grass or paper shred and put in some Easter candy! You have a little treat for someone or put it at each place setting on your Easter table for dinner.

To make the crate I used the Wood Crate Framelits Dies and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack. Just cut two pieces with the wood crate die. The die scores the paper as it cuts so all you have to do is crease and fold and assemble with some Multipurpose Glue. If you don’t own the Wood Crate Dies just make some other little basket or box by scoring and folding.

The chick is copied from one I made many years ago on THIS little Easter basket. Back then we had a Scalloped Circle Punch, but you can use the scalloped Circle Dies. For the wings, I just cut a scalloped circle into portions. I sponged all the pieces. For the little feathers on top of his head and for his feet, I just found some shapes on some dies that would work or maybe you could use the Blossom Builder Punch. Whatever you have with something resembling the shapes you need! The little beak is just cut by hand. The eyes are punched with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch and just colored with a black marker. The chick is adhered to the wood crate with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals.

You can use whatever color card stock you like or other designer paper. Make the chick with whatever shapes you can punch or die cut. You can also add an Easter greeting on the front. It’s just a cute little treat idea for holding some Easter candy treats or for a little home decoration. Have fun making your own Easter treats to give to some family members, friends or neighbors!
