Easter Fun with How To's

Easter a time of new life and new beginnings

Of the greatest importance is the Celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

John 20: 16- 18:

16 Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher). 17Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' " 18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.

The Easter Lily due to it's trumpet like shape represent God the Father calling Jesus home .

This basket it so cute and can be made with items that most of us have int the house.I can't wait to get started I will be making three of these.

The Easter basket is made from paper grocery bags . What a great way to repurpose and recycle.

The basket really is cute and fun to make..Not sure it would hold up well for the Easter egg hunt

Grab your supplies and let's get started. You will need the following:

Paper bag, Ruler and Pencil, Scissors, Hot Glue Gun, and Clothes Pins

HAVE FUN

These eggs are adorable..I will be making a few of these to tuck into the Easter Baskets as well as a few to hide.

You will need the following supplies:

Paper of your choice, Plain white paper, Scissors, glue stick or craft glue, and Candy or your choice of fillings.

I am going to try to use a glue stick . If it works it will be safer for the little ones.

Draw the shape of an egg on two pieces of paper , glue the two pieces together l

leaving an opening to fill with goodies,, candy, money, a small toy, etc, glue opening closed.

These little Cashmere Bunnies are ideal for tucking into an Easter Basket .

These adorable bunnies are made from Cashmere sweaters. But I am sure you could use felt or flannel as well.

Your local thrift store may be a good option to find cashmere or wool sweaters.

Did you know that it once took twenty seven hours to make a single Peep..

In the weeks just before Easter Pine trees start their new growth. Just in time for Easter the tallest shoot branches out and forms a cross.

Cute little planters made from egg shells

They can be used to decorate for Easter . After Easter they can be planted straight into the garden shell and all.

Simple to make using a little potting soil , a few seeds or purchased succulents

We must celebrate Jesus!

What a sweet and beautiful reminder to do just that

The Hill of Calvary is a grass garden featuring the hill where Jesus was hung, where He was buried in the tomb and then rose.
