Easter DIY Projects!

Easter is quickly approaching and it's always fun to decorate the house and of course decorate eggs for an Easter egg hunt with the kiddos!  Here are some DIY ideas you can try to spruce up your home if you hosting dinner or out of town guests and have fun with eggs. Enjoy!

Easter Paint-Chip Garland

Print and cut out an egg template.  Use paint chips (you know, the paint color samples in the home improvement store that are FREE) and cut them in half eliminating all white except for the line between the two color shades. Trace the egg on the back of the card (so there wouldn’t be any residual pencil marks on the front) and then cut them out. Lastly, punch two small holes in the top of each egg with an extra small hole punch and threaded them onto a piece of waxed cotton or string.

This is so cute and would be a great project to do with the kids :)!

Magic Balloon Treats

 

This project is self explanatory from the picture but you can personalize it as you wish.  You can use your favorite candy, you can use money, and you can even put little bells inside if you have really small children and they can just use it as a toy :).  This seems like a really cheap project and most items can probably be found at your local Dollar Tree!

Glow-in-the-dark eggs

This is such a neat idea, simply purchase the large plastic eggs and the glow stick bracelets and stick them inside with candy or another prize.  This could be fun for older kids at night or can even be used inside with the lights out.  Tip: Don't crack the glow sticks too early or the light may go out before it's dark.

Clothesline Wrapped Eggs

This is a great idea for a center piece for your table if you are hosting dinner or if you just want your home to be festive.  The clothesline should be easy to find, I know I have seen them at my local Dollar Tree.

Simply purchase some plastic eggs and use your hot glue gun to attach the line to the eggs.  You can place these eggs in a basket, in a vase, just scattered across the table, or even create this beautiful wreath!

Dying Easter Eggs

We all know that dying Easter eggs can be a big mess, especially when the kids are helping and are excited.  To help keeps things fairly neat and clean, tuck the egg inside of a wisk and let the wisk get all the mess instead of your fingers.

Of course you can always just do the traditional eggs and dye them all different colors, but let's spice things up this Easter.  Grab some pearls, rhinestones, markers, glitter, etc to make them personalized and unique!

Please share if you try any of these DIY projects!
