Easy DIY Carrots

Right after welcoming Spring, Easter is coming soon. Remember my felt flowers I did a couple of weeks ago? I used my felt stash and I have a little piece of orange felt too. I think with its vibrant color, it would look great as carrots. From there, I think of making a spring carrots out of orange felt. It looks so cute as tiny carrots.

My felt carrots are super easy to make and quick too! You don’t even need a sewing skill to make these little carrots, you just need to have a needle and some orange thread. You can make this cute springy carrots for decorations like Easter bunting, Easter wreath, or many other Spring and Easter decorations.

2. Cut the orange felt in your desired dimension, then bend it from left to right, then right to left, over and over like a two-dimensional spring (zig-zag).

3 .Hold the spring shape and insert a thread with needle, start from the bottom carrot to the head of carrot. Fix the carrot shape, decide the length you want from your carrot by adjusting the springy felt.

How To Make Coastal Easter Eggs Decoration

If your home is by the coastal area or you just love a coastal theme decor, why don’t you have your Easter decor this year in Coastal theme?! Coastal theme will bring some freshness to your Easter decor at home. With bright colors and some coastal ornaments, your Easter eggs decoration will look fantastic and fresh. Take a look at my Coastal Easter Eggs decoration and scroll more on how do I make it. It would be a great addition to your Easter Coastal decor.

How to make a Coastal Easter Eggs decoration? It is actually easy, you would only need three things for that; which are:

1. For the eggs, paint them in pastel colors, if you want to stress more on the coastal feeling, use blue a lot.

2. Add some beachy ornaments, like seashells, starfish, and so on.

3. Don’t forget to bring in some nautical ornaments, like anchor, ship wheel and many more.

With only that three elements, you can make a stunning Coastal Easter Egg Decoration. As easy as that! Well, if you still unclear, let me show you how I made my Coastal Easter Eggs Decoration.

Things To Prepare

This Coastal Easter Eggs decoration is a low budget Easter decoration. Use some eggshells and seashells an a tin can lid and you are ready for the project. Seashells and a tin can lid are used to make a seashells tray. And for the seashells tray, you can check out my post on how to make it. Anyway, here are the complete list of supplies that you need to prepare for this coastal Easter decoration :

Eggshells (I used chicken egg and quail eggs)
Fake moss
Acrylic paint in green, white, red, blue, yellow.
Black permanent marker
Seashells Tray

How To Make

This is a quick Easter decoration you can make in last minutes. Super easy to make too. You can make it into a large Easter decoration or a small Coastal Easter decoration, it’s all up to you. If you want to make a large one, use a bigger tray and more eggs. Mine, I made a small one which great for a coffee table decoration or mixed together with other Easter decoration which of course a coastal theme Easter.

1 .Make a hole on the bottom of the egg, very gently, to empty the egg. Wash all the eggshells and let sit for a while until it’s dry.

2 .Paint the eggshells in pastel colors of white, blue, green, yellow, and pink. How to get a pastel color? You can get it from mixing a color with white. By mixing a color with white, you will have a lighter and softer color. Let it dry after painting.

3 .I used my seashells tray I made before last year. You can check out how I made it; or if you have a round plain rustic blue tray, it will do too.

4 .Take some fake moss and arrange it on the tray, it would look as if it’s a bird’s nest.

5 .Don’t forget to draw an anchor by using a black marker on the white chicken eggshell.

6 . Place all the painted Easter eggs and arrange them nicely on the fake moss. Add some seashells and maybe starfish if you have one. And it’s done!

Super easy and quick to make isn’t? A Coastal Easter Eggs decoration that you can prepare in last minute. I also have an easy Easter Wreath I made last week, it’s an upcycled low budget Easter decoration that you will love to make. Well, Easter is still a week to come, better get moving and get your home ready for Easter decor.

Four Fun Ways To Decorate Easter Eggs Card For Kindergarten

I made an Easter Eggs Card with my kid as a free task from school for Easter activity. As for some small kids, coloring the whole page sometimes can be boring and tiring. So, I came out with the idea of four different ways to decorate the Easter Eggs Card. Four fun ways that have already introduced to most kindergarten children. The four techniques are :

Smudge Crayons Coloring
Pencil Colors Coloring
Origami Paper Mosaic
Painting By Using Watercolor Pencils

These are four fun ways that will make your kids having a blast experience in decorating an Easter Eggs Card. Not boring, because it has so many ways and fun learning to enhance their artsy side. Plus, this kids activity would make the little ones able to explore many colors possibilities.

Let me share how I do the Four Fun Ways To Decorate Easter Eggs Card For Kindergarten kids.

Smudge Crayons Coloring

Smudge Crayons Coloring means you need to use crayons and your thumb to do this. A bit messy on your fingers, but it’s surely fun and the result is fantastic. Here are what you have to do:

Color the drawing with a contrast color crayon in thick layer.
Use your thumb to smudge the crayon coloring by sweeping your thumb to the outer direction of the drawing. And you got yourself a shinny looking crayon coloring.

Pencil Colors Coloring

This is the most familiar coloring way for every kids and adults. It’s super easy and no mess at all. Use bright vibrant colors to color the Easter Eggs and have a spirit of Easter and Spring.

Origami Paper Mosaic

Playing with colorful origami papers with shredding and glue involved is surely a favorite for every young kids, including mine. This is not coloring, is more to the crafty work. Here are the simple steps of origami paper mosaic:

Shred the origami papers in many colors in small pieces. You can cut it, but what’s the fun?
Glue the small pieces of origami papers into the drawing until no more white area is left. Let it dry.

Painting By Using Watercolor Pencils

Painting by using watercolor pencils is the easiest for kids to try painting. It’s much as fun as painting by using watercolor paste. And it less messy too! What do you need to do?

Use a watercolor pencils set, usually it comes wit h a paint brush.
Prepare a clean water on a cup to wet the paint brush.
Color the drawing with watercolor pencil colors.
Stroke the colored drawing with the wet painted brush.
Dip the paint brush into the water every time the brush gets too dry or every time you wanted to paint a drawing with a different color from previous one. Let it dry.

Very easy and fun, right? You just need to prepare an Easter Eggs drawing or printable (it’s available on my other post, check below posts) and you can have your kids to experiment with the Four Fun Ways To Decorate Easter Eggs Card.

It doesn’t have to be a perfect art work, it’s just a fun project for kindergarten kids to do on Easter at home with their parents or older siblings. These four fun ways to decorate Easter Eggs Card would a great learning and creative experience to young children and adding their colors vocabulary. Well, have fun with this Easter for kids project and Happy Easter!

DIY Easter Eggs From Polymer Clay For Kids Activity

I just found this polymer clay that my kid love to play with so much. The texture is different from usual clay, it’s more elastic and moist. So, it’s easier to form a figure and less messy to play with than the usual one. The great thing is, by the time it’s dry enough, it would be squishy but still maintaining its former form. And at the end it will as hard as a board foam without cracking. For that, your kids can keep them as toys, like mini figures and of course Easter Eggs. This polymer clay can be a great activity at home for you and your children to have fun with. I had some great times with kid making this DIY Easter Eggs From Polymer Clay.

The polymer clay is easy to work with, you can make any form with it. Your kids would love it, they can go super creative with it. The best things is that the clay itself has already colorful and you can make your own color by combining your desired colors together. So it’s perfect to make Easter Eggs out of this squishy polymer clay. You can even make them into some key chains besides squishy toys.

The Great Things About Polymer Clay

There are many things I like from this polymer clay, and those things are:

The texture is elastic, moister and not easily disintegrated.
Polymer clay is not messy to play with due to its texture.
Once it’s harden enough, it will turn into squishy.
You can keep your making as a toy because of the squishy-like texture and after days it will hard like a board foam.
It doesn’t crack when it dries.
The colors selections are soft and vibrant altogether and you can mix two or more colors to get a desired color.
You can draw on the hardened polymer clay.

In this case, after I make the colorful eggs, I can decorate them with color pen. Isn’t that fun for kids? It is even fun for me!

Things To Prepared

You would only need to prepare two things to make this Easter kids activity of DIY Easter and those are:

Polymer clay in many colors
Sakura White Gelly Roll 0.5

How To Make

If you have a pair of great hands to form things, then you would do fantastic on making these polymer clay Easter eggs. How to make these colorful Easter eggs?

Take your favorite color clay as much as you want the size of the egg to be.
Make a ball first until you got a smooth surface of the clay and then form an egg shape and place it in standing position. Let it dry. To get a great result, leave it dry a half day.
Decorate the polymer clay eggs with gel pen in white colors (or other colors you favor) and paint it to be Easter eggs.
Some you may want to decorate it with just colorful clay as if you are decorating a cake by using fondant.

Trust me, it’s fun! So, not just your kids would have major excitement doing these Easter kids craft of polymer clay Easter Eggs, but you would also enjoy it. You can make small Easter Eggs, colorful Easter Eggs, monochrome Easter Eggs, big Easter Eggs, painted Easter Eggs or anything creative Easter Eggs you can think of by using this polymer clay. Happy trying, also bring along your children and have fun with it on coming Easter!

See you!

Hop Hop and still be creative!

Cut thin balsa wood in rectangle shape to used as the sign board.
Mixed the acrylic colors of blue, green, yellow, red, purple with white to get pastel colors.
Paint the balsa wood in stripes with different colors and nevermind the width of each color painted. Let it dry. Actually I used the remained colorful acrylic paint that I have used for my Shabby Flowers Hand Painting Wall Art. I just couldn’t waste the remaining paints, so I just painted it on the balsa wood and hope to get an idea of what to do with it and later the idea was this bunny sign.
Draw a sketch of a hoping bunny. Paint the hoping bunny silhouette in white paint. Let it dry.
Write the word “Bloom” on the sign board with drawing pen.

Try to maintain a distance while spraying and don’t spray at one spot for too long, but spray in a glance all area, let it dry and repeat it until entire surface is covered evenly. Be patience to get best result. I used sewing pin as something to hold and stick it on the egg’s bottom so I can spray the entire surface without touching the egg.
Sketch the pattern with the monogram you desired with pencil on the painted egg
Enhance the monogram and the pattern on the easter eggs with drawing pen, black marker and grey marker. Let it dry and do it carefully.

Another idea to present your Easter eggs for your diy home decorations on coming holiday; A black and white with personal monogram as your Easter eggs. This black and white Easter eggs are classic and have more mature look. And the best thing is that you can add your family member’s monogram on each egg.
