Easter is always celebrated against a backdrop of pastel colours and the greenery of spring. It’s wonderful to have these cheerful hues in your home after a long snowy winter. And, many Easter DIY projects give us the opportunity to make them part of the décor, so let’s get started!

 New Twists on Easter Traditions

  1. String Easter Eggs: What would Easter be without an Easter tree? Yet, dyed eggs may look a bit tired if that’s what you’ve done year after year. Make 2018 the year of string Easter eggs instead! These elegant ornaments are fun to make and look great.
  1. Easter Egg Flower Pots: Easter always means fresh flowers and plants. However, instead of displaying them in traditional containers, why not make your own? These plastic Easter egg flower pots are cute, colourful, and so simple to create that you’ll have an amazing centerpiece in no time.
  1. Burlap Easter Bunnies: On April 1st, the Easter bunny will play a starring role in most décor schemes. And, while rabbit stuffies are cute, these burlap bunnies are a great alternative that you and your kids can make together.

Unforgettable Easter Garlands

  1. Felt Carrot Garland: Your burlap Easter bunnies would love a carrot or two, and these felted ones are sure to delight all your family and friends. A bit of sewing is required, but this charming felt carrot garland is definitely worth the effort!
  1. Easter Egg String Lights: When the sun goes down, this garland is going to light up the Easter night! It’s also a great excuse to use those Christmas lights you may or may not have taken down. Grab some plastic eggs, a drill, and a block of wood, and you’ll have your very own Easter egg string lights.
  1. Yarn Chick Garland: We can’t forget about the yellow chicks that help put the adorable into Easter. And, “adorable” is definitely the right word to describe this yarn chick garland! This is another great project to do with your children, and make everyone say “aw”.

Happy Easter, everyone!

The way to Dad’s heart…food!

Food… straight to a Man’s heart! Here are 2 “food worthy” Mason Jar Ideas.

How about making Dad’s favorite BBQ Sauce and scooping it inside a hand labeled Mason Jar?! As seen here this fantastic gift is super easy to make (you can even cut corners and purchase Dad’s favorite sauce). All you need is a label, one small mason jar, a BBQ brush, metallic markers and a ribbon to wrap it up….and maybe a steak!

Not sure about the BBQ Sauce? Pick up Dad’s favorite candy, salty treat or make his favorite chocolate but be sure to use either a bigger (or many) jars as I am sure these treats will vanish in no time! Great for children of all ages.
