Easter is such a wonderful season for making crafts and the FreeKidsCrafts team made a visit to the Dollar Store to search out inexpensive craft materials for this project.

Trivia

Decorating eggs for Easter is a tradition that dates back to at least the 13th century, according to some sources. One explanation for this custom is that eggs were formerly a forbidden food during Lent, so people would paint and decorate them to mark the end of the period of penance and fasting, then eat them on Easter as a celebration.

Supplies

• Construction paper in Easter colors
• Paper doilies

• Miscellaneous trim

Instructions

1. Click on Printables and print out the Easter Egg form on different color construction paper. Cut out.
2. Look at the pictures of our Easter Eggs and see how we used one type of doily to make each of these designs. You can use one of our ideas or make your own.
3. After you cut out the doily in the shapes you desire glue them to the paper with the decoupage material. Add decorations of left over craft trim, ribbon and flowers to complete your design.
4. These eggs make great package trims or card decorations. They can also be suspended by fishing line to hang in the window.

Craft away and have fun.
