Step-by-step instruction for making an Easter egg with a secret

Crack the eggs carefully, removing only the top of each. Drain the whites and yolks or use them for cooking. Rinse the shells thoroughly, paint them and leave to dry. Then fill the "cups" with treats. If you wish, you can cut the paper into thin strips and write a pleasant prediction on each. Trim the edges of the shells. Use glue to attach the candy baskets on top and leave the craft in a conspicuous place. Surely the guests will be interested in what is inside the multi-colored eggs.

Easter garland

"Rabbit tails" - a funny garland for Easter

First of all, this decoration reminds about. But the colorful garland will fit into any festive interior, including Easter. Required materials:

• designer paper (preferably Easter-themed and just light colors)
• scissors
• needle and thick thread

The easiest option is to cut out identical figures of different colors from paper, string them on a thread and hang them in a conspicuous place. It can be multi-colored eggs, hares, birds, carrots and everything that your fantasy tells you. Figures can be decorated with decorative elements: ribbons, sparkles, beads.

Step-by-step instructions for making a garland

A garland with voluminous details looks more impressive. Its construction will take a little more time, but the result is worth it. First, make a template for a figurine - for example, an Easter egg. Then start cutting. Each element of the garland consists of five parts. Accordingly, if you want to get 10 voluminous eggs, make 50 identical cuts.

Another version of the garland with Easter bunnies

From paper of each color, cut an equal number of elements. Take five blanks. Fold each in half. Glue first two eggs, connecting them along the fold line. Then add a third and so on. Thus, make the number of eggs you need. String them on a thread, piercing a hole with a needle 0.5 cm from the top. Decorate your home with a ready-made garland.

Volumetric Easter eggs from wrapping paper

Volumetric eggs do not have to be collected in a garland. If you have an arrangement of branches like an Easter tree at home, you can hang crafts from it. Bright colors bring this piece of decor to life. This ikebana is easy to make without the help of a florist. It is enough to collect a few branches, for example, willow, put them in beautiful vase and decorate to taste.

Easter eggs

Eggs are the main attribute of Easter. After all, they denote life itself, the birth of something new. On the day of the Resurrection of Christ, eggs are present not only on the table, but also in the decor. Cute decorations can be made from different materials. We settled on three options of varying complexity.

Option number 1: Paper eggs

The easiest and fastest of crafts. To make it you need colored paper or cardboard, glue, wooden skewers and braid. Make an egg-shaped template and cut out two blanks of the same color. Glue them together, starting at the top. Insert a skewer at the base and fix it with glue. Decorate the place of attachment with a ribbon bow. Decorate with crafts an Easter composition, a basket of goodies or a houseplant.

Option number 2: Fabric eggs

An embroidered felt egg will decorate any holiday composition

Of all the fabrics for needlework, felt is the best. In structure, it is similar to cardboard: it is just as easy to cut and glue. This fabric does not have a front and back side, it does not “spread” after cutting. In a word, many different crafts can be made from felt.

Make an egg template out of paper - an oval 7-10 centimeters high. Attach it to the felt different colors and cut out two identical shapes. Decorate these bases to your taste. Sew details from felt of a different color: stripes, peas, flowers. Dilute the felt with pieces of other fabric, buttons, decorative elements.

An example of an Easter garland made from voluminous fabric eggs

Then join the two halves of the egg with a decorative seam facing outwards. To make the craft look brighter, take a thread in a contrasting color (or the same shade as the decor on the craft). You can use buttons to decorate. Then fill the "shell" with padding polyester. Do not overdo it with its quantity: the craft should be slightly voluminous, but not spherical.

Fold the piece of ribbon in half and sew it to the craft like a loop. You can string eggs from felt on a thread, and you will get a garland. They are hung on the branches of an Easter tree, decorated with a festive wreath - in a word, there are many options. By the same principle, you can make other felt figures: rabbits, chickens and even birds.

Option number 3: Salt dough eggs

An example of Easter crafts from salt dough

Salty dough- convenient and affordable material for creativity. To prepare it, mix 320 g of wheat flour with the same amount of salt, pour 3/4 cup of water into the mixture and knead the dough. You can add food coloring to achieve a specific color for the craft. Make a template out of an oblong oval object - for example, take the cut off bottom of a water bottle and squeeze it on one side.

Roll out the dough, cut out the blanks and make a hole next to the top through which they can be hung. Place the products on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and dry in an ajar oven at 55-80 degrees. This will take an hour and a half, depending on the thickness of the dough. You can also dry the salt dough outdoors - for example, on the balcony. But don't leave it in direct sunlight.

When the blanks are dry, you can take on brushes and paints. It can be gouache or watercolor, but acrylic is better. Paint the eggs to your liking. Pull a ribbon or piece of twine through the hole, tie the ends with a bow. To keep the craft for a long time, use a special varnish.

Rabbit vase

In vases of eggs, you can germinate lawn grass or other plants

A cute hare is a symbol of Easter, known all over the world. Eared coasters with flowers will not leave anyone indifferent. Materials you will need:

• egg shells
• black marker
• white drawing pen
• pink and red pencils
• adhesive tape with a pattern
• White paper
• small flowers and leaves

When preparing dishes for Easter, stock up on shells for crafts. Crack the eggs gently towards the top to keep most of the shell intact. Rinse the shells and make sure there are no protein residues inside. Color the rabbits however you like. Draw eyes and a nose with a black marker, cheeks with colored pencils, fur with a white pen.

To make one eye, cut out a 6.5 x 2 cm rectangle from paper. Fold it in half, cut out the piece of the desired shape and straighten it. When the ears for all the rabbits are ready, build the rims on which they are attached. To do this, cut strips 6 mm wide and about 11 cm long from designer or plain paper.

Step-by-step instructions for making rabbit vases

Attach the ears to the paper so that they are centered. Glue them on the back side with a piece of thin tape. Then wrap the strip around the top of the egg and secure it. Cut off the rest of the paper. The next detail is the egg cups. Cut out a few more strips of paper 3 mm wide and fold them into a circle. Install rabbits on them.

Fill the "vase" with miniature flowers and leaves. You can pour some water into the shell, but during the day the plants will do without it. If desired, you can prepare the eggs in advance, fill them with earth and grow lawn grass. This method will take more of your time and attention. Well, ready-made rabbits will decorate a festive table or a shelf with decor!

fluffy chickens

Funny pompom chicks are the best Easter decor

At the sight of funny yellow chickens, it is difficult to suppress a smile. Even a child can make them, the main thing is to follow the instructions. Required materials:

• yellow wool yarn
• a piece of orange felt cloth or cardboard
• scissors
• eyes or dark beads for decoration
• glue gun
• decor (bows, ribbons)
• cardboard and scissors

First, make two circles of the same diameter out of cardboard and cut out the middle of them. The size of the finished chicken will be slightly smaller than the diameter of the outer circle. The inner is responsible for the density of the pom-pom. Fold two circles together and wrap them with a thread folded several times. If the diameter of the template is large, you can not use a needle and do everything manually.

Step by step manufacturing pom-poms from threads

After wrapping the circles completely, cut the workpiece along the edge. The scissors should go into the gap between the circles. Next, take a thread 25-30 cm long, wrap it between cardboard templates and tie it securely. Cut and remove circles. Trim the pom-pom with scissors to give it a neat shape. From red cardboard or a piece of felt, cut out the paws, scallop and beak of the chick, take eyes or beads. Secure all parts with glue.

Making an Easter chick with two pom poms

There is a second version of this craft - an older chick who has already learned to walk. To create it, you need wire and a red thread. Make two pom poms different sizes. Using threads, fasten the two parts of the body. From the wire, make paws with three fingers in front and one in the back. Attach them to the bottom pom-pom, grease with glue and wrap tightly with red threads. Glue the beak and eyes on the chicken. ( 6 votes, average: 4.17 from 5)

Encourage children to create crafts from scrap materials. In their imagination, ordinary things turn into something unusual. In this they really have no equal. Who would have thought that from disposable tableware such wonderful themed crafts can turn out.

Making such an Easter tree is quite easy. Take a small bucket or flower pot, perhaps you have a medium-sized ceramic vase. Fill your container with floral foam purchased from a florist or just sand.

Fire is a symbol of light, and candles are simply indispensable. During the Easter night service, a large candle is placed at the altar, it is a symbol of Jesus Christ, and its flame is a symbol of the resurrection. Decorate your Easter table with original candles. For this you need eggs. You need to carefully break the egg in the middle and take out the contents, so you get two holiday candlesticks.
