Crafting is a great way to spend time with friends and family... and it's wonderful for mental health. And holiday crafting is the BEST! Today I am sharing 8 easy Easter crafts the whole family will enjoy. The crafts are simple and you can find most of the supplies in your recycling bin and at the dollar store.
1) Bunny treat holder - This is a cute craft, and a fun Easter party favour. Download the template here, colour the bunnies, cut them out, cut slips, and insert a treat. Cute, right? You can find step-by-step instructions here.
2) Heart shaped, yarn covered Easter chick - This little chick is totally adorable, and it's made by wrapping yarn around a dollar store wooden heart. Then, add a beak, googly eye, and beak... and voila! You can find the detailed step-by-step instructions here.
3) Coffee filter bunny suckers - Sometimes simple ideas are the best ones... and these bunnies are a perfect example. Cover a sucker with coffee filter, tie with a piece of twine, cut the top in half, twist the ears, and add the facial details. Sooooo adorable!!! You can find step-by-step instructions here.
4) Bunny cookie - This is craft is cute... and it's delicious. Place a cookie in a cellophane bag. Then, add cardstock bunny ears, googly eyes, a sticker nose, whiskers, and a mouth. This would make a wonderful Easter dinner "take home" treat. You can find step-by-step instructions here.
5) Wooden bunny ornament - I purchased a box of wooden circles (50 for $4) at my local Dollarama, but wood slice ornaments would work too. I painted the circle white, and added popsicle stick ears, a twine hanger, and a bunny face. I used a Cricut decal for the face, but stickers and paint markers would work well too. You can find step-by-step instructions here.
6) The cutest yarn chick - This is such a delightful little ornament... and it's super-fun to make. Kids and adults will love this one! You weave yarn around a piece of a toilet roll, and add a felt beak and googly eyes. You can find step-by-step instructions here.
7) Recycled bunny artwork - How cute is this bunny art? It's a fun piece made from an empty egg carton and a piece of a cardboard box. Kids, tweens and teens will love getting creative with this one! You can find step-by-step instructions here.
8) Paper Easter baskets - These are fun to craft and are perfect for gifting. Download the template I designed (below), decorate the basket, cut it out, fold it, staple in place, and add a pipe cleaner handle. You can find step-by-step instructions here.
