Easter Crafts: Easter Bunny Plastic Candy Jar

Easter crafts

I love holidays so much and Easter is coming soon. I am looking forward to the family gatherings, warm delicious Easter meals and the best of all is the entertainment we have for the kids during those family parties. We play outside, play catch but we also need to improvise something that would make them sit and slow down for a while. Kids crafts are the best solution for your kids to calm down, quit running all around and enjoy themselves by creating something interesting which they will use to decorate their room.
Easter crafts are all about bunnies, chicks and eggs. In this kids craft we have used two fundamental elements: bunnies and Easter eggs.

Supplies Needed
  • 1 empty plastic bottle
  • 1 cupcake liner
  • 1 ribbon
  • 1 A4 white sheet
  • 1 bag of candy or chocolate eggs
  • Knife
  • Scissors
  • Glue 
  • Black marker


Directions
  • Cut the top of the bottle with a knife.
  • Glue the cupcake liner on top of the bottle.
  • Glue the ribbon on the cupcake liner.
  • Print out the following templates on the A4 sheet, cut them out and glue them in place.

Easter Gift Basket: Chocolate Eggs and Tulle Square Vase

Easter gift basket
Holidays mean family dinners and gatherings, gifts, candies and joyful cheers. Whether you were invited out for an Easter Sunday meal or you were having the Easter feast over your place you will need this beautiful and easy to make chocolate egg basket.
My goal, through How to be Super Mom, is to encourage you super moms to make everything by yourself and I will teach you how to make this very simple Easter gift basket to offer it to a relative or a loved one.




Supplies Needed
  • 4 orange tulle square pieces ( 15 X15 cm)
  • 6 purple tissue papers ( 15X 15 cm)
  • 6 medium Easter chocolate eggs
  • 10 small Easter chocolate eggs( purchase your chocolate eggs from the collection we picked for you)
  • 1 pack of wooden sticks
  • Large purple plastic ribbon
  • Square bucket for decoration
  • Square oasis or a medium piece of clay
  • Glue Gun
  • Scissors

Directions
  • Place the oasis in the empty square bucket or wrap the piece of clay with a sandwich paper and place it inside the bucket.
  • Prepare all your needed accessories before starting to decorate your arrangement.
  • Cut the tulle and tissue papers in half, diagonally, forming 20 triangles in total.
  • Wrap each triangle to form a cone and glue the borders firmly.
  • Insert a wooden stick in each cone to form a support that will hold the paper cones in the clay or in the oasis.
  • The eggs need a support as well, so we need to insert a wooden stick in each one of them.
  • That done, our super moms are now ready to start decorating their Easter gift basket.
  • Start from the outside borders of the oasis, filling it with paper base and as long as you move towards the center start incorporating the eggs. 
  • You can use the picture as a sample.
  • Before gluing the ribbon to the vase or basket, place a small piece of duct tape to prevent the hot glue from scraping the surface. We always have to consider that the host might like to remove the arrangement and use the bucket or vase for something else.

How to be Super Mom is the only blog ready to offer free help to all mothers around the world. I will provide you with all the information I know about Easter decorations, crafting and cooking.
