Hi everyone! It's Friday...finally!
Are you looking for a last minute Easter craft for this weekend? Here's a fun one...turn a plain box of crayons into a a Easterific one! (sorry...I couldn't resist typing that)
I made this one yesterday.
I first thought of this idea when I used my friend's die cut set to punch out the easter basket and eggs. I thought to myself, "Wouldn't the kiddos have fun decorating the eggs with crayons?" So I grabbed a box of crayons to put with the basket and eggs, and in my attempt to make it somewhat cute, I stuck some Easter stickers on it , but it looked kinda ugly. So I glued some blue paper on it to put the stickers on. But then I thought it would look even cuter with paper eggs on it...but of course easter eggs have to have grass, so I threw on some hand-cut felt grass. And then I wanted to fill in the extra space above the eggs so I stamped "Happy Easter". I like how it turned out, and hope the girls do too. It was a fun craft...you should make one yourself for your little kiddos, or if you have older kids let them make one! If you don't have access to a die cutter here's a cute printable basket. Cut out your own eggs to fill it with and you're set!
I snapped a few photos of how I decorated the crayon box:
Cover the box as if your wrapping present...
except leave the top end open...
cut a separate piece to cover the lid; I used a bone scorer to create the crease.
Then decorate! I used a hot glue gun for everything except for the stripes/dots on the eggs--I used clear tacky glue for that.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Have fun!

Pamela
