Last Minute Easter Crafts

"Scrambling" around at the last minute to fill your eggs? Or basket? Spring and Easter always tend to sneak up on me (even though they visit about the same time every year) and I find myself looking around for things I can create out of supplies I have on hand.

Hoppy Easter Crafts!

Easter is one of those holidays and times of year that just make me smile to think about. Not only is Easter a sacred holy-day for many different faiths, but it is also a wonderful time to pause and appreciate all of the signs of Spring.

Birds returning to your trees, a few types of flowers just peaking through the soil and animals (kids too) frisky with the prospect of getting outside to romp and play! Just so you aren't left out, I've collected a few Easter patterns for you to have fun with too.

Fabric Dyed Easter Eggs

...With these brand new Easter crafts!  Our Fabric Dyed Easter Eggs are a fun, fresh way to color your eggs, using what else? - Dad's old silk ties!  That's what I call Tie-Dyed...(Isn't Father's Day in June?)

Easter Blocks

If you have small children, these Easter blocks are an especially nice way to encourage reading and they can always use the blocks to build an Easter tower!  The blocks could also be used as a dinner table centerpiece or mantle decoration.

Easter Bunny

And if crochet is your game, don't miss out on creating this Easter Bunny to enjoy or as a special Easter Basket gift.  He also has a friend you can crochet too, Miss Bunny!  They make quite the dashing couple!

Easter Banner

Though Easter is just a few days away, there is still time to put up some simple Easter decorations to welcome Spring and celebrate the holiday.  It's also a great way to use up some of that scrapbook paper stash!

Egg-cellent Easter Ideas!

Crochet Easter Egg

Easter is a week away and if you are like me, you are hunting for something besides candy to load those baskets with.  I do this every year with my sons.  I think, "this year, I am not filling their baskets with just candy (and chocolate)!"

Felt Easter Cookies

Okay, great.  Good idea there.  But now what?  What will I put in their baskets besides sugar and corn syrup?  What about something homemade?  (Insert aha moment here.)  I shall make something for their baskets!

Crochet Child Bunny Slippers

If you can hold a crochet hook or knitting needles you can replace the sugar high with something substantially more healthy.  Not to mention curtailing the sugar induced Easter coma so many of us experience on Easter afternoon.

Glitter Eggs

Use some of these clever Easter crafts to fill up your baskets, whether for kids or friends or something special for the neighbors.  Or hop over to our Easter Crafts page for a sweet list of non-edible treats!  The Easter bunny will thank you.
