Easter Gifts Supplies

Clean mason jars

Easter themes vinyl stickers (or cut your own out of a vinyl sticker page)

Chalk paint, brush or spray paint

Tweezers

Ribbon, twine or lace trim,

Hot glue gun and sticks (optional)

Directions:

1. Clean your mason jars thoroughly inside and out and let them dry completely.
2. Make your vinyl stickers or cut them out using Easter themed templates. Bunnies are just perfect and really cute for this craft.
3. Apply the stickers to the outside of the jar on the smooth side, pressing firmly especially on the edges so no paint can pass through. Make sure the sticker is firmly attached.
4. Now apply a coat of calk paint on the whole outside surface of mason jar. Let it dry for about 10 minutes and as long as it is still slightly wet peel of carefully the sticker. You can use a tweezer if you find it useful just make sure to not scrape the edges. If you choose to use spray paint, just make sure that no paint gets inside the jar, especially if you want to put edibles in there. To assure it the best way is to place the jars upside down on a flat surface and then apply the spray paint on it. Let the mason jars dry completely.
5. Add some ribbon or lace trim to the neck using a little hot glue and let it dry. Now you can now fill them with whatever you want!

Easter gifts for kids

As any celebration, Easter is always a big deal especially for kids. To let them take part in this spiritual important day try giving them some special Easter gifts especially made for kids. Candy is an all-time classic, but this year, think about giving alternative, healthier treats or small presents for them to cherish.

Ideas for Easter baskets

A fun way to deliver your gifts other than mason jars are cute Easter Baskets. You can craft them by yourself and fill them with the items of your choice or buy them at many seasonal stores. Try keeping them natural and use as little as possible artificial and un-natural colors as possible for an earthier and rustic.

Fun Easter Craft: Yarn Egg Garland

Image via: Country Living

Materials

• Modge Podge
• Sponge paintbrush
• Multicolored pastel yarn
• Several 12-inch balloons

Directions

1. Blow up your balloons till they are 6 inches tall and make knots. They will have a faint egg shape because they are empty inside.
2. Tie a small piece of the yarn to the balloon knot to secure it. Wrap the yarn around the balloon any way you like. When you are happy with your design, cut the string and place it under another piece on the balloon.
3. Repeat the same process on the other balloons. As you wrap the balloons, the yarn will look like a jumbled mess but don’t fret, it will look great afterwards.
4. Dip your sponge in the Modge Podge and dab it on the yarn covering the balloons. Make sure you cover every string with Modge Podge. If you are making this fun Easter craft with kids, be careful when using Modge Podge.
5. Leave the balloons to dry for about one day. The yarn needs to be completely dry before you pop the balloons or it will lose its egg shape.
6. After you make sure the Modge Podge is dry, pop the balloons.
7. Weave a string through your garland and hang it.

Instructions

1. Make a 12” circle on the cardboard. Use a salad plate as a template. Cut out the circle.
2. Make a second circle on the cardboard that is bigger than the previous one. This one should be 14”. Use a dinner plate as a template. Cut out the circle.
3. Tie a small piece of ribbon on the top part of the circle. This will serve as a hanger.
4. Use the pencil to draw two straight lines beside the ribbon where you won’t place eggs.
5. Affix the eggs to the circle using the hot glue. Leave the area within the pencil lines plain. As you attach the eggs, you can make a unique design. You’ll need about 48 eggs to make the wreath full. Afterwards, you can use smaller eggs to make it fuller or larger eggs to make it really big.
6. Before you add the second layer of plastic eggs, attach some grass to the first layer with hot glue. The grass fills the empty spaces and makes the wreath look fuller.
7. Add the second layer of eggs randomly on top of the first layer.
8. Incorporate some more grass between the empty spaces.
9. Tie a large bow to the portion without eggs.
10. Display your Easter wreath.
