Egg stand

A very simple idea of crafts for Easter can be easily translated into reality, and as a result, you will have a sufficient number of cute Easter souvenirs.

What you need:

• cardboard packaging for eggs;
• white watercolor paint;
• a small piece of red felt;
• brush;
• scissors;
• glue;
• felt-tip pen black.

Manufacturing:

1. Carefully cut out one cell from the egg carton. Cut out so that the cell is paired with the protruding part located next to the package.
2. We trim the edges with scissors, removing all unnecessary, but so that the cardboard pair "cell-ledge" is stable when the egg is inserted into it.
3. We paint over all the cardboard pairs with white acrylic paint, let the paint dry.
4. Cut out the details from red felt: a diamond, a droplet and a trident - a scallop with rounded tops.
5. We bend the rhombus in half and glue it in place as a beak.
6. Glue a drop below the beak.
7. Now on top in the "head" of the cock we make a hole, insert a red trident-comb into it, fix it with glue.
8. On both sides we put black dots with a felt-tip pen - cockerel eyes, as shown in this master class with a photo.

DIY Easter craft is ready! You can insert colored Easter eggs and decorate the house for a bright holiday.

Egg with flowers using kanzashi technique

Many people who are engaged in needlework have mastered this simple technique of kanzashi - with its help you can create beautiful and original Easter crafts.

What to prepare:

• satin ribbons, 2.5 cm wide - green, white;
• satin ribbons - orange and green, 0.6 cm wide;
• small foam circle;
• a piece of thick felt;
• hot glue;
• preparation of eggs for crafts from any material;
• candle;
• tweezers for working in the kanzashi technique;
• beads;
• other decorative elements.

Making Easter crafts:

We fix a satin ribbon with a width of 0.6 mm in the wide part of the egg - the blank with hot glue, as shown in the photo of the step-by-step description

Then we completely wrap the egg with this tape, laying the next strips "overlapping" and securing everything with glue

• Now that we have prepared the egg by "painting" it with a bright ribbon, we proceed to making decorative elements, flowers from satin ribbons using the kanzashi technique.
• We start by cutting 6 squares from a white satin ribbon for each flower. Since we will use three flowers in our composition, we will accordingly need 18 squares from the ribbon.

• Bend each diagonally, then fold in half, connecting the ends.
• Now we fold the workpiece in the opposite direction again, clamp the ends with tweezers and burn them on the flame of a candle or lighter.
• We glue the petals 6 pieces together, glue a beautiful bead in the center.

From below we glue the "leaves", which we make from three pieces of satin ribbon, 0.6 mm wide. We roll them up with loops, connect the ends and fix them on the flame

Cut out a circle from the prepared felt, 5-6 cm in diameter. Glue a green tape around the entire circumference, folding it in small folds

We glue one more tape, but using a circle with a smaller diameter. So we got a double edging of the felt blank

We cut out a circle of small diameter from the foam blank, wrap it with a green tape, 0.6 cm wide

We glue the resulting blank to a felt blank framed by satin ribbons; we will insert an egg into this recess

It remains for us to glue the flowers onto the egg, set them on a stand and secure with glue. You can additionally decorate your DIY Easter craft to your liking.

Easter baskets

A very delicate Easter craft made according to our master class can be taken by a child to school for an exhibition. It is very simple to execute it, using a detailed description with a photo.

What you need:

• small plastic packaging;
• a piece of plastic, 1.5 cm wide, 12-15 cm long;
• narrow satin ribbon of any pastel shade;
• hot glue;
• a piece of white lace;
• sharp knife;
• segment of the grid.

Master Class:

With a sharp knife, we cut out the bottom from the plastic packaging, but we do not throw it away, it will still be useful to us

Now, we fix the end of the prepared tape with glue at the edges of the package without a bottom and wrap it completely, we also fix the end with glue

We put glue on the lace section and glue it around the top of our basket

• We put the bottom, which was cut out at the beginning, in the basket from the inside, the edges can be previously glued, although it holds well so well.
• We take a plastic thin and long workpiece and wrap it with tape, fix it.
• We glue the strip to the basket as a handle.

• From the prepared section of the mesh, we cut out a square of such a size so that when it is placed in the basket, the ends peep out effectively from it.
• Put the painted egg in the basket, as shown in the video, and the Easter souvenir is ready. Such a souvenir can be given wholeheartedly with the best wishes.

2. We make a new fluffy and voluminous flower from two combined stems. We also expose the wire from above and thread both ends into a hole on one of the sepals.
3. Now we string petals from three flowers on our double stalk, fix the whole structure with glue.
4. Now we string flowers, we try to lay them at least 5 - 6 pieces. for greater effect.

• Shake the egg, helping the contents to flow out.
• Pour the glue into the prepared plate and roll the eggs in it.

Option 2

What you need:

Starting to make Easter pasta crafts, draw ellipses on the egg with a pencil, along which we apply glue. Doing it yourself will be much easier, guided in your actions by a master class with a photo

We put pasta on the glue, so we decorate the entire surface of the egg. The free surfaces of the egg from pasta can also be coated with glue and sprinkled with any seeds or cereals

After the glue dries, paint the eggs in any color. Free pasta surfaces can be decorated with glitter

DIY airy Easter egg made of threads

A very elegant Easter craft, and with additional decor, it is just a real work of art.

• polyethylene;
• dense cotton or silk threads of any color;
• PVA glue;
• sewing pins;
• additional decorative elements.

Manufacturing:

To begin with, you must decide in what form you want to get your original craft.

The choice consists of three options:

• weaving with a "window";
• a combination of two options in one egg.

1. You can perform all three options according to the description of this master class, as the most suitable solution. This way you will have a lot of DIY Easter crafts.
2. So, to begin with, we wrap the egg blank with plastic wrap.
3. Now we start weaving with a "window". Immediately, we note that to make such an airy egg, we will separately cook each half of the craft. Then, we will glue the resulting halves.
4. We pierce the entire workpiece with needles along the border dividing the egg in half. Then we place a row of needles lower in level in the form of an ellipse, leaving a "window" of the selected size.
5. Now we braid these two rows with threads dipped in glue, but not in a chaotic order, but in a certain way, according to your creative idea.
6. Having finished weaving, grease the surface covered with threads with glue again. We leave everything to dry up.
7. As soon as the threads are dry, remove the pins and remove the foam blank from the resulting structure.
8. You can also make the second half, then connect them with glue.
9. If you want to make the second half without a "window", then with pins we pierce another ellipse, placing it on the free surface of the workpiece.
10. Inside the airy egg, you can place any Easter composition and additionally decorate the craft made according to the description of this master class.
