I like to decorate for each holiday. \u00a0I have a rotating collection of decorations that I’ve collected over the years. \u00a0Many things are cute little things I’ve picked up through the years accented by handmade crafts by the kids. \u00a0But I don’t like to spend a lot of money on decorations and it keeps getting harder and harder to find affordable items to put around the house. \u00a0So this year, I decided to make a few of my own to fill in the gaps for Easter.<\/p>\n

\"Easter<\/a><\/p>\n

Plastic Egg Wreath<\/h3>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

Supplies: \u00a0Plastic eggs with two holes in each end, metal hoop, embroidery thread<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

Thread the embroidery thread through the bottom of each egg and the the top and snap together (go through both holes on each end). \u00a0Wrap on string around the hoop and thread the next egg. \u00a0Be sure to wrap around the hoop and pull the strings tight between each egg or you’ll be unthreading and re-doing! \u00a0If you have enough eggs, do a 2nd row inside the first. \u00a0(Below: backside of the wreath)<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

Bunny Chain<\/h3>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

Supplies: Eastery Wrapping paper, scissors,\u00a0Bunny Chain Pattern<\/a>\u00a0(click for pattern download)<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

Trim a piece of paper off the roll slightly wider than the bunny is tall (or, if you want to do multiple lengths at once, fold the paper slightly wider than the height of the bunny then cut it off the roll). \u00a0Cut roughly around the bunny and tape to one corner of the wrapping paper with the tail on the edge. \u00a0Accordion fold the paper with folds at the bunny paws and bunny tail. \u00a0Cut around the bunny, making sure to NOT cut the folds where the hands and tail meet the edge. \u00a0After you’ve cut the entire bunny shape, remove the pattern and unfold.<\/p>\n

Decorative Eggs<\/h3>\n

\"SONY<\/a>
\n<\/a> Supplies: Styrofoam Easter Eggs, ribbon, sequin pins, fabric flowers and leaves<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

For the bow egg:<\/p>\n

Tie the ribbon into small bows. \u00a0Cover the egg with the bows and use the tails to cover the white parts of the egg.<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

For the flower egg:<\/p>\n

Cover the egg completely with the leaves. \u00a0Arrange the colored flowers around\/down the egg and fill in around the rest of the egg with the white flowers.<\/p>\n
