How to Make Easter Crafts

Unique and Suitable Crafts

Some crafts that we make to decorate for Easter are really suitable all year round. Any of the bunny crafts could be used on other occasions, especially if decorating a little girl's room or a baby's room.

I have been searching for some unique crafts to make for Easter. I was looking for something a little out of the ordinary. Some of the projects I have picked aren't all that unique, but I just thought they were too cute to pass up.

In this article I'm going to share the Easter Craft projects that I picked out by printing a picture of the craft and giving you the site address so you can go right to the directions.

To make the cute "Stitches, the Bunny," basket shown above, go to Kids & Glitter to get the patterns and directions.

You can also get this tissue in pastel colors of pink, lavender, yellow, seafoam green and blue.

Spectra Art Tissue Paper

for painting with tissue paper

Art tissue paper is different than gift wrapping tissue paper in that it bleeds. Painting with this paper gives beautiful bright colored results to your art. Kids love to paint with tissue paper, and are always amazed at the exceptional art they are able to achieve with it. Spectra comes in 100 sheets with 25 different colors. I don't recommend this type of tissue paper for gift wrapping or for making flowers.
