Happy DIY Saturday! Two weeks from this Sunday will be Easter and this is a perfect time to start planning out your Easter Egg Hunt for the kids, family, neighbors, and even the adults!
Easter egg hunts are a nostalgic way to bring back memories that you had as a kid, running through the grass and collecting as many “hidden” eggs as possible! Today, I thought I would turn today’s DIY Saturday into a helpful way to plan for a hunt at your home. From the invitations to decorating the Easter baskets, here are creative ways from Martha Stewart to make the day memorable for all.

Hard Cooked Eggs – Seasoned Salts
Hard-cooked eggs are served with bowls of cilantro- and pimenton-flavored salts.
Ingredients
- Coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
- Coarse salt
- 2 dozen large eggs
Directions
- Make the pimenton salt: Combine pimenton and 2 teaspoons salt in a bowl.
- Make the cilantro salt: Combine cilantro and 2 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Let dry for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the hard-cooked eggs: Prepare an ice-water bath. Place eggs in a large saucepan, and fill with cold water, covering eggs by 1 inch. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 12 minutes. Transfer hard-cooked eggs to ice-water bath (this will prevent discoloration and facilitate peeling). Drain.
- Serve hard-cooked eggs with seasoned salts for sprinkling.
Steps for making Easter basket tags:
Inexpensive baskets are adorned with clip art tags for kids to write their names on, so there are no mix-ups at your Easter-egg hunt party.
Print onto card stock, and cut out. Punch a hole at the top, and thread with string or ribbon. Use open space to write a name on each.
