Left your Easter crafting a little late this year? Don’t worry — we’ve all been there. Whether you're hosting a get-together, seeing the grandkids, or simply want to add a handmade touch to your home, these five crafts are a great way to add an extra Easter touch at short notice.
Felt Egg Decorations (20 minutes)
A soft, handmade finishing touch to any table scape or decoration. Simply cut egg shapes from felt using your die cutting machine and stitch them together with embroidery thread (or glue with a Hot Glue Gun for an even faster craft). Then add a small amount of stuffing inside. Decorate your egg with die cut pieces, gems, and ribbons. These make lovely keepsakes and can be brought out year after year.
Handmade Easter Card (1 hour)
Even a last-minute card can look like a masterpiece. Use a spring-themed die, sentiment stamp, and layer your cardstock to create a quick but beautiful design.
To make this card we mat and layered our base card pieces, die cut our daisies and shaped them to make them more 3D. Arranged them on the card and stamped our sentiment.
Daisy Gift Bag (10 minutes)
Need something cute to pop some chocolates, eggs, or sweet treats into? Simply take a sheet of 12″ x 7 1⁄4″, landscape score at 3 3⁄4”, 5 3⁄4”, 9 ½”, and 11 ½”. Turn the cardstock portrait and score at 3⁄4”, 2 1⁄4”, and 5 1⁄4”. Fold and burnish all the score lines. Then cut out the notches up to the 2 1⁄4” score line leaving one of the larger panels to form the base. Glue the bag together, tie with a ribbon, and there you have a handmade gift bag you can create for so many last-minute occasions.
Paper Bunny Garland (20 minutes)
