While I was brainstorming ideas on how to make a really popping men's gift basket, it totally clicked. Why not take a snack that men love and literally make Easter basket out of them? Ding, ding. That's where this Slim Jim Easter Basket idea was born. Their 26-packs of Slim Jim Original and Mild available at Walmart are the perfect size for this.

Here's what I did to make this man-ster basket. First, I used my hot got to glue all four packages of Slim Jim together to form a "box" shape.

Then, I took a small square shaped piece of cardboard that I measured and glued it to the bottom to form a full "basket".

Next, I glued down some cube shaped Dry Foam (found in the floral department) into the center.

To add all of your Easter Basket fillers in, glue or tape each item to a popsicle craft stick. I used thicker packing tape so that it would hold firm but also still come off later.

Once each item is secure, I pressed them into the Dry Foam to hold them into place. As a final way to keep things secure, I also taped some of the items to each other after they were in place.

Once all of your goodies are secure in the "basket", you can add a cute bow to it and add some basket filler inside. Then, that's it! You have yourself an awesome gift for the men in your life this Easter.
