7 Easy DIY Easter Crafts and Recipes

With about one week left before Easter I realized that I haven’t made the time to do some holiday decorating around the house!  For some reason, Easter just snuck on me this year!  Here are some fun and simple ways to add some springtime cheer to your home.  Enjoy!

For the Home:  

Bringing in the outdoors:

Love this look!  What a clever way to showcase your favorite flowers! This would be such a cheerful way to greet visitors at the front door. Idea found on Everyday Home Blog.

Grab your own vintage milk jug here:

Peeps and more Peeps please!

I am a sucker for Gerber Daisies so this idea just might be part of our holiday decor.  And what’s not to like about the Peeps! More fun ideas found on Home Talk.

You can find some square glass vases here:

Rainbow Egg Banner:

Tutorial on how to make your own banner can be found on Craftaholics This site has a ton of great holiday craft ideas!

Mason Jar Love:

This just might be my favorite mason jar craft I’ve seen!  There are a ton of fun ideas out there but this one takes the cake.  Looks really easy to make but would be a great addition to your spring décor. This adorable craft and tutorial can be found on No – 2 – Pencil.

Gifts for everyone!

This would make a great gift to give to a teacher, friends and family.  This idea can be found on Pink Lemonade of Life.

You can find some plain glass mason jars here:

Greet the Easter Bunny:

This is just too much fun!  I think I might make a door out of thick cardboard and paint it and add some doors and hinges covered in tin foil.  Dave Lowe is quite the handyman and you can get some great ideas from his site – especially if you are handy with tools.  But if you are like me, you can just make a simple door and improvise with the other materials.  Post on our bunny door coming up!
