20 Best Easter Craft Ideas You Can Make With Your Kids
Easter is a holiday that’s pretty much made for spending time with your family and expressing your creativity. Whether you and your kids are decorating easter eggs, easter basket making, making home decorations, weaving baskets or bringing your own creations to life – Easter is all about finding new ways to express yourself.
But, where do you start? There are so many different projects that you can make, that you can be a bit spoiled for choice. That’s why we’ve written this article on easy to make crafts that you can make with your children, regardless of their age or skill level.
Arbee stocks a massive range of Easter craft supplies that are perfect for any project! Check out our range of Easter basket fill, boxes, bags, baskets, decorations, gift tags, headbands, stickers, wood craft, foam decorations, general craft, resin shapes, scatters and wood decorations.
1.Make some festive clothes
One of the best things about arts and crafts is that it’s a great way to give new life to your old clothes. Look at this bonnet, for example. What might have been sitting in a cupboard previously is now the perfect centrepiece for a festive Easter celebration, and all it took was some colourful cotton balls and some ribbon.
Let your kids’ imagination run wild. Just imagine how proud they’re going to feel when they get to wear the cool Easter clothes that they got to make.
2.You can’t go wrong with woodcraft
If you’re looking for a quick and easy solution for making decorations, you can’t go wrong with wood craft. We give you a wooden base, and you can let your imagination run wild. You can paint the base, use glue with glitter or colour it in with markers.
Then, once you’re done, you can use accessories such as ribbons, stickers and string to really make the design your own. These will look amazing hanging around your home as a nice decorative flourish for your festive Easter plans.
3.Give your gifts a little something extra
Whether you’re giving the gift of Easter eggs, or something different entirely – use arts and crafts to give your presents an Easter-themed kick. Use an Easter-themed box, and accessorise it with a gift tag and some scatters.
Don’t just give out Easter gifts; have some fun with it and give out some gifts that truly reflect you. Nothing beats a personal gift, after all.
4.Create some Easter bunny ears
Nothing gets you in the mood for Easter like some big ol’ bunny ears. It’s like wearing a Santa hat at Christmas time. It just fills you with festive cheer. That’s why a popular Easter craft is to take bunny ears and make them your own.
We’ll get you started with a pair of bunny ears, that you can easily customise as much as you want. Make them colourful with all kinds of accessories, and have fun wearing them as you host your Easter brunch or Easter egg hunt.
5.Combine an easter egg basket with a hat
Making Easter clothing is fun, easter basket making is also fun, so why not combine the two?
All you have to do is take a hat, make your own personal touches with all of the art accessories you want, then place some basket fill at the top. Not only is this really simple to do, but it takes your Easter egg hunts to the next level. It’s one thing to make an Easter basket, but what beats making an Easter basket that you can wear on your head?
6.Craft your own tote bag
We get it. Sometimes, when it comes to all of the chocolate your kids are getting this Easter, a box just isn’t enough. But, even if you get a bag to hold all of your eggs instead, there’s no reason for it to look boring, right?
Start with a cute tote bag, and then you can add whatever you want to give it some visual zest (we recommend tags, hanging eggs, and some woodcraft). Chocolate comes and goes, but a good Easter tote bag will last you from one Easter to the next.
7.Stickers, everywhere!
Who doesn’t love stickers, right? They’re perfect for when something needs that special visual touch.
Your Easter decorations are no exception. Do you want to spruce up your gifts? Maybe give your eggs a little bit of flair? Have you made any of the crafts on this list, but you think they’re missing a certain special something?
Throw some stickers on there. Whether it’s Easter animals, eggs, flowers, bunnies – you’ll fall in love with the results.
8.Make a sign!
It sounds so obvious, doesn’t it? One of the wonders of woodcraft is getting to make a big sign that perfectly expresses happiness and festive cheer to your guests.
Like with any other woodcraft, you take your blank sign and make it look however you want it to. Accompany it with other woodcraft if you want, colour it however you like and give it all of the little touches that let everybody know that it was made by you.
And BAM! You have the perfect thing to greet your guests when they come over to join you for some Easter cheer.
9.Make the perfect backyard Easter Egg hunt
Hosting an easter egg hunt isn’t just about leaving Easter eggs randomly strewn around the garden. Use arts and crafts to make it more immersive and fun!
Whether it’s with some egg decorating, hanging eggs, a couple of bunny picks, or foam decorations that include eggs nests, glitter carrots and bunny paw prints – you can create a space that takes your Easter egg hunt to the next level.
10.Put the Easter in your Easter brunch
Channel your inner Lewis Carroll as you adorn your Easter brunch with the kinds of decorations that would make the Easter bunny get a bit of FOMO.
Better yet, while you worry about the food, your kids can put together the decorations. That way, everyone’s involved! It’ll make when you all sit down together to enjoy your Easter brunch even more special.
11.Create some mystery eggs
Put a twist on the traditional Easter Egg hunt. Instead of everyone hunting for chocolate eggs, you can make your own eggs with their own little mystery inside. Will they get a chicken? a bunny? Something different entirely? Either way, everybody wins!
12.Give your eggs a new coat of paint
Lots of people dye their Easter eggs to give them some colour. Why not take that a step further? With a bit of paint and some easter egg stencils, you and your kids can make all kinds of colourful creations that will perfectly punctuate your Easter decorations.
13.Think outside the box
Start with a box, then let your imagination run wild as you decorate it to your heart’s content. Add a wide variety of crafts; so you and your kids can give your Easter boxes their own personal touch. They’ll make for a perfect little addition to your Easter egg hunt.
14.Take something old and make it new again
Have you got something in the house that’d make for the perfect Easter decoration – except for that it’s just missing that little something? Take this ceramic rabbit and basket. It might look a little plain on its own. But, add some resin shapes and some basket fill, and you’ve got the perfect decoration for Easter.
15.Make doggy decorations
Who doesn’t love dressing up their dog for a special occasion? Who doesn’t love dressing up their dog for a regular occasion either? Easter is a perfect opportunity to let your dog in on the fun. Give their collar a little festive touch (just remember, safety first).
16.Don’t just create… illuminate!
Candles are an amazing accessory, no matter what the occasion. They carry so much moody festivity, that you really can’t go wrong with one. It helps that candle craft is incredibly fun to do. Of course, if you decide to make candles with your kids, just remember fire safety.
17.Can’t wait for the Easter bunny? Make your own
The best part about this one is that you can enjoy it long after Easter. Making toys is a fun and rewarding experience, so why not make your own Easter bunny out of felt? Don’t just make Easter decorations, make memories too.
18.Get swept up in Macramania
Macrame is a popular kind of craft that can be used to make all sorts of decorations; from wall hangers to bags and everything in between. If you’re not sure what the next big decoration to add to your Easter atmosphere is, may we make a suggestion?
19.Let it be(ad)
Nothing says Easter like a big, beady-eyed bunny, and we’ve got just the beads to help you and your kids bring yours to life. If that’s not enough, make some eggs out of beads too. It’s easy, and you’re gonna love the results.
20.How about some jewellery?
We’ve talked about wearables, and we’ve talked about beads – so, it only makes sense that we’d combine the two, right? You might have bunny ears, you might have some clothes that you’ve Easter’d up, but get some beads, string and maybe even some charms, and you’ll have the perfect accessory to go with them too.
