Framed Easter Egg Art

I'm going to re-post a favourite Easter craft I made last year that continues to be one of the most viewed crafts on my blog..... my Framed Easter Egg Art!

 

I had this old wood frame in the basement waiting for a new purpose...

So I added a few coats of white paint to freshen it up...

I wanted to cover the back with fabric, but didn't want anything with a bold colour or busy pattern, so I bought this fabric place mat from the dollar store...

I added it to the backing of my frame using some hot glue.

I had some eggs in my box of Easter decorations. They were those Easter egg picks- the foam eggs that come on a stick. So I removed the sticks, then cut the eggs in half with a knife.

Then arranged them how I wanted on the frame and secured each one with some hot glue.

And then I had this fun Easter egg art....

I think it turned out cute!

Ribbon Covered Easter Eggs

Here's an easy project to whip up for Easter......

I bought a pack of foam eggs from the dollar store for a buck & then covered them with ribbon using my glue gun! I put them in a clear glass vase & that was it!

And as an alternative to ribbon, this would be a great project to use up scraps of fabric!

Happy Monday!!

Easter Egg Snack Time

I know I have been really M.I.A. lately on my blog.

We had stomach flu go through our family last week. 

Then my husband went to the hospital with awful stomach pains & later that same day he was having surgery to have his appendix removed. {He is supposed to take 1-2 weeks off work & isn't able to lift anything over 10 lbs for 3 weeks, which has been hard for our daughter who is a daddy's girl!}

Then we had an annoying flood in our basement.

Then I got a bad cold.

And yesterday my husband's 12 year old cousin passed away. So very sad!

It has been an intense week!

I have been trying to get creative in ways to keep my kids busy (my son is 4 & my daughter is almost 2).

They have spent a LOT of time colouring. My daughter is obsessed with crayons & colouring books.

The other day I decided to try an idea I saw on Pinterest to have snacks for my kids inside plastic Easter eggs. They LOVED it!

Some snack ideas include:

• goldfish crackers
• cheerios 
• gummies
• fruit (berries, cut-up apple pieces, grapes)
• raisins or craisins
• mini cookies
• ritz bits crackers
• cheese- shredded or small cubes
• 
  

... pretty much anything that can fit inside the eggs that your kiddos like to eat!

Try it out! I bet your kids will think it's totally awesome!

:)

nothing like the last minute?

Last night, with my 3 year old son's help, I made up these little "Happy Easter" bags for my Primary class of 4 year olds at church.

I just filled little snack size ziplock bags with a few foil chocolate eggs, a lollipop, and a couple of little party favor toys that came in packages from Walmart. Then I added the labels on with staples. Done!

Just a little something for those kids today!

Happy Easter everyone!!

ribbon & fabric Easter eggs

Here' s another little Easter project I whipped up...




I got this package of small foam Easter eggs for a buck. I covered them using ribbon. And for a couple of them I used strips of fabric, which was a great way to use up some fabric scraps! Using my glue gun made this project really easy and quick to do!

These two are my faves. Using ric rac ribbon on the yellow one was a cute twist!

When I was finished all of them, I just placed them all in a clear glass vase...

And they look right at home with the Framed Easter Egg Art that I shared yesterday!

Framed Easter Egg Art

I have started making things for Easter. We have been dealing with such cold weather here and it's been nice to make spring time crafts to combat the "winter blues". Today I'll show you how I made this..... I had this old wood frame in the basement waiting for a new purpose:
