Easy Easter Décor and Easter Bunny Letters

If you have kids preparing for Easter probably includes Easter Bunny letters and related holiday décor. The good news is all of your Easter decorations can easily be made from the things you typically have in your craft box.

One addition you may want to add is a package or two of the store-bought plastic Easter eggs. These eggs can easily be decorated to create exciting new looks that your kids will love. Not only will they have fun decorating the eggs but they will like displaying them and using them for those infamous Easter Egg Hunts.

The truth is, these eggs can be decorated using many of the same techniques that your kids will be using to decorate their letters to The Easter Bunny. An easy decorating idea is to simply apply stickers to the eggs. You can find stickers that Easter-themed that include bunnies, crosses, jellybeans, and even chicks and carrots. The idea is to be free in your designs.

You can also add glitter and sequins to the eggs. Just glue them on with craft glue. In fact, you could even use the little eyes and create adorable Easter creatures. Use yarn, ribbons and bits of cloth to ‘dress’ the creatures and you have an adorable display.

Feathers can be added to the eggs too. You can completely cover the eggs or just use feathers for a decorative touch. Because the feathers seem to give movement to the eggs most kids love this technique.

You can also paint these plastic eggs. Just use a small paint brush and craft paint. Be creative and make the process fun and imaginative. Or be a little more precise and create specific images related to Easter. You could add little bunnies, chicks, pastel hearts, smiley faces or religious images.

Other elements you may want to add to your eggs include bits of felt, beads, or small charms. You can use the caps from bottled drinks to ‘stand’ your eggs in or you can create a stand out of construction paper. 

Just cut strips of paper and glue together to create the appropriate sized ring to hold your egg upright. The strips of paper can be decorated to look like grass or even with glitter and sequins. The point is to have fun in the creative process.

Besides your displays of eggs you might want to add other decorations that can include letters to The Easter Bunny and mini Easter baskets. You can usually find ‘mini baskets’ at dollar stores. Obviously the baskets are extremely inexpensive. 

You can use some of the items from your craft box to decorate the baskets, including ribbon, lace, glitter and sequins. Then fill the baskets with finely cut ‘Easter grass’ and add tiny Easter decorations and candy. These baskets can be given to older kids and grandkids as an Easter gift. 

Easter symbolizes new beginnings and rebirth. It’s the perfect time to decorate with flowers as flowers also remind us of spring and new beginnings. Whether you prefer live plants or silk flowers you can add an Easter touch with small Easter-themed decorations.

Consider decorating your plants much like you decorate an artificial tree at Christmas time. Just create your Easter ornaments out of construction paper. Add a strand of jelly beans for garland. 

Have fun in your decorating adventures and try new things. The more you do the more fun you and your kids will have!

Girl Days Are Good Days – Even If They Do Include The Easter Bunny

At Easter all the females, old and young in my family love making what we call “sherbet carnations”. We like to fill up vases with these flowers for Easter Sunday. They give our homes a warm and cheery feel. All you need to do this Easter craft is white carnations and food coloring. It is a simple way to add a little splash of color for spring.

First we gather up all the vases and glass bottles we will be placing the flowers in. The younger girls are given clear plastic cups to use just to be safe. We all sit around and talk while we fill the vases up with water. My mother always asks the younger girls what they are going to write in their Easter Bunny letters. They all flock to her side to tell her what their letters are going to say. She has always been a magnet to children.

My mom and my Aunts tell the girls what their moms had written in their letters to the Easter Bunny. My cousin Ruth always wrote funny letters to The Easter Bunny. Her mom told us about the time she asked The Easter Bunny to take her new baby brother back to wherever babies came from. We all got a good laugh out of that. I love when we get to relive happy old memories. It is so good when all of us girls get a chance to get together without any guys around.

After we get all of the vases filled with water we start to cut the flowers. You have to hold the flowers up to the vases to determine how much needs to be cut. Only the adults cut the stems. While we are cutting the flowers my mom shows the girls a letter to The Easter Bunny I wrote when I was little girl.

The next part is the girls’ favorite part of the day. They get to put the food coloring in the vases. The colored water in the vases seems to dance in the bright spring sun light. The girls make sure the water is turns bright vibrant color. After the water in the vases is colored the girls put the flowers into the water. Over a few days the flowers will absorb the dye in the water and become a pretty pastel color.

After our girl day of crafting sherbet carnations and girl talk my daughter was enthused about some of the things she had heard related to the olden days and letters to The Easter Bunny. My daughter called her grandma to tell her how much fun she had and that she loved her. She also told her all about what she was going to write in her letter to The Easter Bunny. My mom told her she was sure she would get a letter back from The Easter Bunny. My daughter went to bed that night so excited to mail off her letter. Not only that, but she was also looking forward to more ‘girl days’ and craft projects. It was another sign that my daughter was growing up.
