Easter means pastels of all colors: eggs in the loveliest shades of pinks and creams and baby blues scattered in living rooms, backyards, and school rooms. My favorite memories of Spring are of my family sitting around the kitchen table, crafting pretty little eggs. This year, spruce up your egg decorating up with these Easter DIY craft ideas.

PRETTY AS A PICTURE
You want to know a secret? These exquisite eggs are surprisingly easy to put together. All you need to do is find pictures you like online, print them out on temporary tattoo silhouette paper, and stick them on your eggs with a damp towel. I love butterflies and birds, but you and your kids can get super creative—anything from kittens to dinosaurs to sailboats! Bonus points if you paint the eggs before your tattoos are applied. Get Free shipping on temporary tattoo paper.

CHECK OUT THESE CHEEKY CHICKENS!
You can’t have a proper Easter without a visit from the chickens that laid all those eggs… or at the very least, a visit from felt chickens! Go wild with paint and felt, and turn your little eggs into the chickens that hatched them. Their little felt feet act as the perfect standing device. Hey, maybe you’ll even grow so attached that you’ll need to set a place at the table for your new friends. Get 20% off on supplies.
