Some Bunny Loves You!

 

Every child, no matter the age, can do this craft and the younger ones will 

find it pretty amazing that the end product is a BUNNY!  

(So simple it amazes me, too!)  

The instructions are right here on the pink hand and 

you get a feeling for the face and ears.  Each one will be unique.  

I think this is simply fun & simply sweet!

Say Cheeeee-tos

It doesn't get much easier than this!  Everyone knows what Cheetos are ... and they are everywhere.  The cone shaped wrapper for these are made by Wilton and they are for "piping" icing on cakes.  These, too, are available at most of the big craft stores.  You can fill them a little - or a lot - then tie them off with some curly package ribbon.  Ric-Rac was used here but you will get a very cute effect with the inexpensive ribbon, too.

Wouldn't these be great in someone's lunch bag?

Fun Dough

Homemade play dough isn't new on the scene ... but making it look like a carrot is!

It's really nice to see that there are still folks out there who see the value in moving away from chocolate and sweets.  Don't get me wrong ... I like a chocolate marshmallow Easter Egg as much as the next person ... but this looks like a fun afternoon activity to me!

Dough-n't forget the instructions. They are HERE!

An Egg~ceptional . . .

Several sites have the directions for making the Resurrection Eggs, but in case you would like to make these and you don't have directions yet ... 
here they are.

Directions & supplies for the Resurrection Eggs are right HERE!

Care for a Carrot?

Simple sewing projects are actually quite fun to do with kids.  So many moms don't sew anymore so it's kind of special to actually make something by sewing it.  If for some reason you just don't want to sew, you can always glue the sides to make the tube, then gather at the top. No decorative fabric ribbon you say? Well, how about some curly package ribbon?  
These are quite cute in orange, but if you want to have carrots that coordinate with your home's color scheme ... then go for it!  Directions? Here!

You provide the bunny!

Rainbow Pasta Beads

"Now why didn't I think of this?"  Goodness only knows how many times I've said that!  This is one of those "win - win - win" crafts. First you win because the pasta is very inexpensive, second you win because you have an easy project (coloring the pasta), and thirdly, you have an easy craft when you string these! For starters, you could make a necklace or a bracelet.  But I'm sure there are other options, too, if you will let your own imagina- tion go.  For easy, sturdy thread, try using dental floss. (I seem to always have a lot on hand!) Then, if you want to use something to guide the thread through the holes, use that dental thing ... you know - the one that looks like a needle but it isn't - it's made of plastic but has a big eye!  Oh well, I hope you know what I'm talking about .. I'm sure I'll think of it about about 3 a.m. tomorrow morning!  Below is the link for dying the pasta.

Spring Has Sprung!

What a great way to celebrate the arrival of Spring ... 

and for Christians, the Butterfly is also symbolic of the resurrection!  

You can not only have the fun of making these beautiful decorations, but think of all the places you could use them!  Like ..... attaching a sturdy wire between the wings & onto the body and pushing the end into a flower pot filled with flowers.  Or .... tie fishing line onto the body (perhaps just in front of the big wings) and hang them from the ceiling, or off of a drapery rod!  If you position the fishing line on the body just right, they will look like they're flying and not just hanging. 

Really ... you are limited only by your own imagination.  

This looks like it could be the beginning of a very pretty Mother's Day bouquet!

Why is a butterfly a Christian symbol?  Because it represents "new life".

‘This means that anyone who belongs to Christ
has become a new person.
The old life is gone; a new life has begun!’
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
