Easter Craft

Avryl and I did some Easter Craft today. I would love to be able to take credit for all of the ideas here but alas a lovely lady at our local shopping centre is responsible for most of them :)




This is a "nest" a single egg carton with pretty cellophane glued to the outside, shredded paper for the inside of the nest and it fits a baby chic and mini Easter egg very nicely!



Marshmallow Rabbit - Two large marshmallows stuck together with a toothpick. A circle/oval of green paper for grass with some shredded paper stuck to it. Ears are cut out of paper and stick into the top marshmallow. Face is done with icing that you can buy in a tube! And best of all it's edible!!!


Matchbox covered - pretty paper for the top has shapes cut out of it to show through bottom paper. Glue them both to a matchbox, add a tag and put some shredded paper inside and you're done!


This one I can take credit for :) Eater Basket - fruit seems to come in clear containers from the supermarket when you buy 1kg at a time. We have found these very useful for dolls beds and now an Easter basket. Avryl decorated it with pretty wrapping paper and stickers. We decorated a handle that is attached with sticky tape and screwed up some wrapping paper for a "nest" for whatever the Easter Bunny brings:)

Here's Avryl organising her goodies!!! We had lots of fun making these and have got Hot Cross Buns in progress now:) Hope this inspires you to do some craft with your kids this week-end!
