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.

Colorful hard boiled eggs with flavored salts

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.

Easter basket tags make everyone feel special

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.
