Creative Easter Egg

There are lots of fun ways you can use Easter eggs in crafts. Take your egg decorating to the next level with these fun craft ideas. These Easter egg creations can make for a fun afternoon with your kids or can serve as a project to do at your next Easter party. Either way you will find these Easter egg creations are both fun and easy to do. Here are some great ideas for Easter egg creations:

Easter Egg Bunny. This delightful bunny looks great as part of a centerpiece at Easter dinner or as a one of kind place card holder to let your Easter dinner guests know where to sit.

What you will need:
A dyed egg for each bunny (springtime colors look great!)
Coordinated colors of foam or cardstock that match each egg
One set of googly eyes for each bunny
Pipe cleaners for whiskers
2 larger pom poms and one small black pom pom for the nose
One small square of white cardstock or foam for the bunny teeth
Craft glue

Instructions for the project: The first step is to dye your egg the color you want your bunny to be. This project works well with either hard boiled or blown eggs. Allow the dye to dry completely before you go any further. Using a coordinating color of foam or cardstock cut out ears for the top of your bunny and a heart shaped piece that will be the feet. Using the craft glue attach the ears to the top of the bunny and bend them slightly backwards. Make the bunny’s feet by attaching the heart shaped piece to the bottom of the egg with the top of the heart facing out. Glue the eyes in place on your bunny. Right below the eyes attach the two larger pom poms with the black one sitting on top to form the bunnys nose. Place the larger pom poms in the center of the bunny’s face with the smaller black one centered right above them. Cut the pipe cleaner down to the size you want the whiskers to be and attach to the larger pom poms. Attach the white cardstock just below the pom poms for the teeth. If the bunnies are going to be place cards for dinner you can write each guests name directly on the bunny or lean small place cards up against them.

Easter Duck. There is no need to settle for just making Easter bunnies when you can turn your Easter egg projects into darling ducks as well!

What you will need:
Eggs
Craft Foam
Feathers
Wiggle Eyes
Ribbon
Fine-Tip Marker
Craft Glue
Scissors

Instructions for the project: White eggs work best, but you can use any color you like. You can use hard boiled eggs or a plastic egg that is easily found at Easter time. First, draw a template for the duck’s bill and feet. You can probably find ones online but it will work fine to draw your own. Use the pattern pieces to cut the template from the cardstock. Using the template, cut out a bill and two duck feet from the craft foam. Using the craft glue attach them to the egg. Arrange the feathers in a way that is pleasing to you. Let your creativity go here and feather the duck any way you like! Attach the wiggly eyes to the duck’s face. Use the fine tip marker and carefully draw nostril dots on the ducks bill. For a finishing touch tie a small piece of ribbon into a bow and glue it onto your duck.
