How To Make It

Vivid paper shapes scattered on a wooden table next to a large black cutout with an iconic tall rectangle instantly capture the whimsical magic of Disney Pixar’s Up, just like discovering Carl and Russell’s world at Pixar Pier—ideal inspiration for an Up-themed Easter basket in your park adventure.

1. Start by cutting out the pieces for the house. For the roof, you’ll need a dark grey, peach, blue, and light grey piece. Assemble.

2. For the rest of the house, you’ll need peach, light green, yellow, blue, pink, and light grey. Don’t forget a brown door and light grey window for the front! Assemble.

3. Set the house aside for now, and start gluing the plastic eggs to the handle of the basket. As you go, glue the eggs to each other as well as to the basket.

4. Turn the basket over once they’re all on, and add more glue to the backs to help reinforce them.

5. Count the eggs along the bottom row. That’s how many pieces of string you’ll need.

6. Cut that many pieces and glue one end to each of the eggs along the bottom row. Glue the string slightly on the backside of the egg so you don’t see the glue from the front.

7. Next, glue the house onto the front of the basket. Glue it on while the basket is sitting on a flat surface, that way you’ll know the house is even with the bottom of the basket.

8. Gather the ends of the strings and glue them all together onto the back of the chimney.
