Easter Gras

In Hong Kong (and in the UK) Easter grass does not exist. Even though it is probably made here, I can't get it. So what's an expat to do?




Ask Martha.

Here's an ingenious way to recycle wrapping, construction, or kraft paper: Feed leftover sheets or scraps through an electric shredder for colorful strips to use as basket grass. Desktop paper shredders are available at office-supply stores. To transform flat strips into spirals, crumple them in your hands, or curl with scissors. Feed the short side of rolled papers through shredder to retain the curl.














I used scissors to cut paper in strips then wrapped the strips around my fingers for the full, curled look.
