Easter Egg Coasters

Posted on Wednesday 29 March 2006

For a fun and easy Easter craft that’s practical, too, you can make Easter egg coasters to protect your furniture from wet glasses and coffee mugs.

You will need:

Felt in pastel colors
Rick rack or narrow ribbon
Craft glue or a glue gun

To make it:

1. Cut two oval shapes from one color of felt. They should look like eggs. Make sure the egg shapes are big enough to hold a coffee mug - at least three inches across.

2. Glue the oval shapes together to make the base of your egg coaster.

3. Decorate your coaster with rick rack, ribbon, and bits of felt in other colors so they look like colorful Easter eggs.

4. Make a set of them to give as gifts or just make a few to keep for yourself.

6″ yarn
Printout of template
Crayons

Glue

To Make It:
1. Glue yarn to printed side of CD to form a small loop so you can hang your craft in the window.

Bunny Pinecone Easter Craft Idea

Posted on Tuesday 14 March 2006

If you have pine trees in your yard, you should have a bumper crop of pine cones on the ground right now. You can use a pinecone and a few other craft supplies to make an adorable pine cone Easter bunny.

You will need:
Fat, short pinecone
White paint
Paintbrush
Glue
Googly eyes
Small white pom pom
2 small pink pom poms
4 slightly larger white pom poms
6 brown pine needles
White felt
Scissors

To Make It:
1. Paint your pinecone white.
2. After the pinecone dries, hold it so that the fat end faces down. Glue the googly eyes near the top of the skinnier end.
3. Glue the white pom pom below the eyes to make a nose for your bunny.
4. Glue a pink pom pom below the nose on either side to make the bunny’s cheeks. Use a red marker to draw your bunny’s mouth between the cheeks.
5. Glue four of the white pom poms to the bunny’s body to make feet.
6. Glue the last white pom pom on the back of the pine cone to form the bunny’s tail.
7. Glue the pine needles on the bunny’s face to make his whiskers. If they are too long, you may need to trim them a bit.
8. Cut two bunny ear shapes out of the felt.
9. Glue the bunny ears to the top of the pine cone.
10. Use your bunny to decorate your house for Easter.
