Cheesecloth Eggs craft



Try this clever technique; wrap eggs tightly in cheesecloth and then color as usual with a dark egg dye. You'll be amazed at the intricate and beautiful designs the cheesecloth leaves behind.

You will need one package of cheesecloth, which can be purchased either at a grocery store or craft store. Cut a square big enough so that the whole piece can be twist-tied together, completely encasing the egg. Make sure to pull the cloth tight enough so that the weave opens up to make a distinct pattern. Then using either commercial or homemade dye, color the egg for just a few minutes, remove and dry on paper towels. Wait until egg is completely dry to unwrap. Darker dyes show up the best

Confetti Eggs craft



Old-fashioned confetti eggs are a lot of fun to make. On Easter let kids toss the eggs and be treated to a surprise shower of confetti. Consider making this an outside activity, as it tends to be messy. Use biodegradable confetti for outside.

You will need raw eggs, food colors or dyes, confetti, glue stick and paper.

Carefully poke a hole in the bottom of a raw egg and remove the yolk and egg white. The hole can be as large as your middle finger is round. Rinse and dry egg thoroughly. Dye the egg however you wish.

When dry, put confetti inside the egg. Fill the egg as full as possible.

Once the egg is finished, use a glue stick to attach a small piece of paper over the opening of the egg.

Let kids toss them to watch a shower of confetti.

Eggshell Candles craft


Eggshell candles are a nice touch on your Easter table.

You will need raw eggs, wax crystals (can be purchased anyplace where candle making supplies are sold), birthday candles and eggcups.

Empty contents of egg as described above for confetti eggs. Rinse the egg out carefully and then, using cuticle scissors, trim the opening out about 1/4 inch more. If you want your candleholders to be dyed, do so after eggs are emptied. Fill the finished shell with wax crystals about 1/4 inch below the edge of the shell and insert a birthday candle for the wick. Place in egg cup. When the candle is lit it will burn down and melt the crystals.

Hanging Hare Door Decor craft


This bunny basket hangs in your house, filled with goodies for Easter!

What you'll need:
2 paper plates
Ribbon
Construction paper
Markers or crayons
Double-stick tape
Stapler and staples

What to do: 1. Draw a bunny face on the backside of one of the paper plates with crayons or markers.

2. Cut bunny ears out of construction paper and use double-stick tape to attach them to the bunny face.

3. Place the two plates front-to-front so the bunny face is on the outside.

4. Staple along the bottom of the plates and halfway up the sides, so the top opens and the bottom is secure to hold your Easter candy like a basket.

5. Attach a ribbon to the top of the plates for a handle. Now you can hang your Hanging Hare Door Decor on a doorknob or hook.

Jelly Bean Carrots recipe

Disposable clear plastic icing bags
Orange jelly beans
Green tissue paper
Raffia

Fill an icing bag with orange jelly beans, leaving at least 3 inches unfilled at the top.

Cut out two 8-inch squares of green tissue paper and lay one atop the other. Pick up the squares from the center and give twist so you have a cone-shaped carrot top.

Place the tissue, twisted end down, into the bag. Gather the bag at the top of the jelly beans and secure with a length of raffia.
