Or maybe you yourself want to offer your ideas on this matter, do not hesitate, please write your reviews and comments, I am always happy to read them.

Everything that I could find on the Internet for free access, plus my achievements, I will demonstrate to you today.

DIY Easter crafts using improvised materials

Let's start, first of all, as always, with the simplest and at the same time original and interesting souvenir that anyone, even a child, can make at home. Perhaps you yourself have guessed what I want to offer, this is an option made of plasticine, namely Easter eggs, because you will agree that they are a mandatory attribute on this day.

And if you still haven’t seen my article on how to paint eggs for Easter, then you have lost a lot, there is simply an incredible amount of ideas on this topic, and you can even do decoupage. There will be another post this year, so don't miss it, it's already in the works and will appear on the blog soon.

Yes, but that’s not what we’re talking about today. Look how quickly and easily you can make such a delight with children, the work was done in the country of masters.

Well, that's not all. You can make such a clearing that will decorate any festive table on this Resurrection of Christ.

Or this bright composition of twigs and eggs. Instead of plasticine, you can take salt dough, or, for example, a fashionable and elastic material, like children's modeling dough.

You can even build a whole picturesque plasticine picture.

Or I don’t know how you, I still have such an idea from childhood that my mother and I almost always made, this is a product made from threads and PVA glue. Take a ball and stick threads onto it, which are first placed in glue, then the glue dries, and the ball is burst. In general, it turns out to be another cool option.

Now it has become fashionable to decorate your home with such decorative things as a wreath. It looks wonderful and of course causes complete delight among others. You can also make such a creation from paper and cardboard using the quilling technique.

Or use a more primitive option. Healthy and tasteful!

You can also surprise everyone with willows, but it’s not easy, put them in a vase, as is customary, and decorate such a wonderful little masterpiece. Look how beautiful and cool it looks, but all you need are Easter eggs and a little bit of your imagination and imagination. And then you will be able to make it like this too.

I suggest making these funny bunnies one more time next to each other, let them bring a smile and good mood to your home! The ears and paws are made of felt, and the face is made of colored paper.

You can modify this work a little, these are the steps you have to do:

Touching on the theme of eggs, you can also build an interesting basket with magic eggs, last time we made one from plasticine, this time try to make it from ordinary ice cream sticks.

Postcards

Easter cards will help you express in writing all your warmest words to the recipient of a lovely gift. To decorate a postcard, you can use applique, decoration, embroidery, and ribbons.

Crafts for Easter are very diverse. They will give you a pleasant pastime while creating cute masterpieces and will be great surprises for the holiday.

Easter card for kindergarten and school children (templates inside)

On this day, you still need to remember and not forget that, just like for any other holiday, you can make a greeting card. And this is what I found for you, my beloved and good readers and subscribers.

We will need:

• white paper A4 - 1 pc.
• multi-colored sheets
• hole punchers preferably with figures
• decorative ribbon or ribbon
• scissors
• glue
• double sided tape

Stages of work:

1. First of all, decide on the background of the postcard. Take the color blue for example. Fold the sheet in half.

2. Then make grass and petals from green paper; you can use a special shaped hole punch for this, but again you don’t know what shapes you have.

3. Now, as you guessed, you will first need to place them on the background, so to speak, think about where and what you will approximately place. And then take glue and stick it on.

4. Next, cut out an egg from white paper.

You can use a ready-made stencil template.

5. And exactly the same one made of yellow paper. And then cut it like this, as shown in this illustration.

6. You will need to decorate this cut using a special device, but if you don’t have one, then use your imagination and make it, for example, a wave.

7. Attach and glue the yellow background to the white one, and the white one to the base respectively. To add completeness, you can decorate it somehow, for example, with a satin ribbon in the form of a bow.

8. And of course, design a clearing from what you get with your assistant - a figured hole punch.

9. Don’t forget to sign a wish or congratulation, as well as a short phrase, for example, Christ is Risen. In general, I think you liked this very simple and cool idea and will take note of it.

Well, and finally, I want to give you another most common option, which many educators and teachers forget about, these are coloring books, don’t forget about them.

Crafts floating bowl for interior

Another unusual option for Easter decor is a floating bowl. To make the composition look light, use mugs made of porcelain or good ceramics with white enamel.

We will need:

• tea pair,
• thick wire,
• Hot glue,
• Decor.

The first step is to connect the bowl and saucer. To do this, use thick wire. Whether she will be isolated or not is up to you. But it definitely shouldn’t bend under the weight of the bowl.

It is better to secure the edges with liquid nails or hot glue.

If you can't find the wire, take a fork or spoon made of dense aluminum so that you can bend it as you need.

And start placing decor on the glue. These can be artificial flowers, fabric or foam eggs. You can even add figures of animals here, it will also turn out interesting.

For example, this bowl perfectly fits a bunny under a waterfall of flowers and foam eggs.

Grass, moss or branches are also placed at the bottom of the bowl, the main thing is that the saucer does not stick out too much.

The most interesting ideas for Easter crafts 2021

This time I wanted to find something, this time not something that would captivate you, and I honestly found it. I hope you will also really like these ideas and you will want to please yourself and your loved ones with them.

First, I suggest you make crafts using the trimming technique. Let me remind you that this is a method in which you must cut a sheet of paper into small pieces (squares) and then glue it onto the picture using a pencil.

You can get a bunch of plots of what you want to do, on the topic of Easter - this, of course, is all kinds of birds or a church with the symbolism of Christ is Risen. I found a job in the country of craftsmen, take a look.

Or a handsome cockerel like this.

A mischievous and bright playful chicken. The eyes and beak can be printed on a sheet of paper.

You can even decorate the craft as if it were a painting or some kind of spring scene. For example, willows and a Easter cake with Easter eggs.

This is so cute, how do you like it? What will you do, share your opinion and your feedback at the bottom of this page.

There is also another idea that I saw yesterday on one of the channels, well, it’s just lovely, to be honest, watch it.

By the way, if you have disposable cups lying around and don’t know where to use them, then you will definitely like this method. You can make vases from them.

Plus, make the cute chicks yourself as I suggested above.

For those who are familiar with paper sticks, which are made from newspapers, or rather with the weaving technique, then you can choose this wonderful beauty.

Here they are funny colors, but not real ones, but imitations.

For those who are captivated by this work of art, I can also offer this stand or, you could say, a wicker basket for eggs.

Well, where would we be without the main character of this day, mommy chicken).

You can conquer at a competition or exhibition with such work, everything seems simple, but it also looks interesting. It will not leave anyone indifferent.

You can also please and use the idea from packaging chicken eggs; it is from them that you can make special coasters. You see what happened, but for this purpose they used improvised means, something that everyone always has on hand. From all sorts of things it always turns out original and unusual.

Let's move on and you can take this model from plastic plates as a basis.

Or you can use porcelain or ceramic dishes.

In general, as you can see, everything is simple and easy, the main thing is a little imagination and you will succeed.

Another option is baskets. Yes, you can’t do without them on this day. Look what a masterpiece I found from packaging and strips of colored paper.

Or use some more thread, take a glass and glue it over it.

Or you can do it without using glue, much like how we made a souvenir for March 8th, remember, a box.

If you want to find a more complex thing, then perhaps you will like this version made from salt dough.

I also love compositions that have a lot of toys and are bright and eye-catching.

Best Easter Decorations

Among all the abundance of Easter decor, we can highlight:

• baskets;
• nests;
• wreaths;
• trees;
• flower arrangements;
• Garlands;
• panel;
• napkins;
• testicles.

We will consider them in our article. If you want to make your home truly elegant, we advise you to combine all these decorative elements. At the same time, try to maintain a single design style, then it will look especially harmonious and beautiful. All decorations can be stored and used more than once, naturally replacing those parts that will deteriorate, for example, fresh flowers.

Master class on making eggs from foamiran

Are you familiar with this fabric material? I think yes, how cool it is, just like felt, I’m in love with it. I suggest making this craft in the form of a refrigerator magnet. You can, in principle, hang it on a string like a pendant.

We will need:

• Styrofoam egg - 1 pc.
• scissors
• cutter
• foamiran (1 mm) 2 colors - yellow and white
• magnet
• hair dryer
• glue gun
• factory eyes

Stages of work:

1. Take a hairdryer and heat the fabric, and you need to do this quickly, and stretch it over the egg.

2. They pulled it like this, and then applied a hairdryer, held it for 11 seconds and that’s it, turned it off, waited until the fabric cooled down.

3. These are the blanks you will get.

4. Now, using a cutter or utility knife, cut the stencil in half.

5. First put the egg into the yellow foamiran.

6. And then cut off the excess fabric into white.

7. Then cut the white one in half, you can imitate cracks as if by cutting them in a zigzag, there are also special wavy scissors.

8. Then prepare the eyes, make the legs and beak themselves.

9. Well, now the most important thing is the assembly. Carefully glue the yellow template first.

10. Then move on to the white.

11. After starting to design the legs, eyes and mouth, glue the parts with a glue gun.

12. What a wonderful baby he turned out to be, pee-pee-pee.

13. Glue a magnet on the other side, you can take a vinyl one.

14. You get two young weirdos, you can make a boy and a girl, and pin on more bows or other patterns to your taste.

As an option, you can do something else, for example, such a charm in the form of a flower with a handle.

Egg

The simplest craft will be an ordinary chicken egg.
Most often it is colored in onion skins or using special food coloring. This is not a bad gift idea, but it is very familiar to everyone. Testicles painted in the color-blocking style, when several colors are applied to one surface at once, look much more effective.

To achieve this effect, you will need food coloring, vinegar, water and white eggs. Dyes are diluted in water, and vinegar is added to it. Eggs are placed in a quarter, third or half of the dye. When the coloring process is completed, you need to take out the egg, let it dry and repeat the operation on the other side, but with a different color. Or leave the unpainted part white.

To give the marble effect, the eggs are first colored in the usual way, and then immersed in a more saturated dye of the same color, but with the addition of vegetable oil.

Unusual colors can be obtained by wrapping white eggs in silk shreds and boiling them in this form in water with the addition of acetic acid. This interesting method of coloring will allow you to create the most unusual patterns on the shell.

You can also use ribbons, beads, artificial flowers, and beads for decoration.

Original crafts for Easter for a school competition

Any student approaches this issue quite responsibly and he really wants his work to become the best. You can come up with a whole lot of options. But, of course, it will be better if you make Easter symbols. For example, these funny chickens, which are made from ordinary woolen knitting threads.

You can use this step-by-step instructions as a basis.

You can use another option. In any case, the result should please you. Here they even made a mother chicken, and also wove a stand in the form of a plate from the same threads.

You can also make Easter eggs from threads, are you surprised? But I don’t, after watching this video you will learn how to make things.

For elementary school children, you can make a mischievous cockerel, which is made from a paper cylinder.

Or I was still hooked by such a brilliant idea, to make chicks out of what they say was. And I had cases for Kinder Surprise. This is such a funny little family that turned out to be yellow))).

You can also make something like this in the form of chicks from cardboard and thread.

And if you want to make a splash on everyone, then make a product from plaster. I think that the commission and jury will definitely appreciate such a cool souvenir and reward it with a gift.

There are also ideas for souvenirs and gifts made of beads, but I will say this too, a lot of work and skill, I remember as a child I was fond of this type of activity, now I don’t have enough hands to sit down. But just for you, I found an easy way of weaving, or rather, it will be specifically for beginners, you just have to put beads or beads on a thread, and then glue the eggs onto the surface.

Of course, this will make your actions much easier. After all, you can also weave, but to do this you need to understand the diagrams and all the symbols. And here, any beginner can handle it, so catch it.

The main thing is to take a very good glue, for example PVA, and one more thought, you can not put it on the thread, but simply glue each bead separately, but this is more difficult.

As for the patterns themselves, in case you are a master and know how to weave, I suggest making a grid like this.

It turns out just great, class!

Or do you like the mosaic technique? I have a diagram from her).

How do you like this work? Wow, it’s breathtaking.

But if you still have any questions, then it’s better to take this model and do the work together with this author of this master class.

Of course, if you are interested in needlework or knitting, then you can also make a souvenir, for example this one. If you need a diagram, I will be happy to send it to you, it was taken from one magazine. What cute and cheerful little beadies they turned out to be, or little Easter cakes for needles.

But, by the way, you can also make knitted lilies of the valley, because it already smells like spring!

If you are good at drawing, then make a picture out of paints.

Or with the help of glue and cardboard, as well as all kinds of cereals, such an Easter masterpiece.

And here’s another thought for you: if you have multi-colored pasta lying around the house, then you can also make this kind of work out of them. What a delight, isn't it?!

Chicken house

You can make the most interesting and original crafts with your own hands. What can you do for Easter in 2022? If the toys, eggs and various decorations are ready, then it’s time to think about where to put them. A basket of threads, as in the photo, is exactly what you need. It turns out to be roomy and will perfectly complement the composition.

What you will need:

• balloon;
• threads;
• scissors;
• corrugated paper;
• glue;
• needle.

Master class step by step:

• Inflate the ball. We lubricate the threads with glue and wrap them around the workpiece. Place the ball aside and let the glue dry thoroughly. We pierce the ball and remove it.

• Carefully cut out the window. Cut the corrugated paper into strips and place them in the basket. We also put eggs here.

This makes a great house for a chicken. If you try a little, the result will amaze all expectations. The composition can be taken to a competition of young masters; it will definitely not go unnoticed.

How to make quick and easy Easter gifts from paper

In my opinion, these are the types of works that are most popular, because these are the materials everyone has in their home. The first thing that comes to my mind is egg cups. Well, they drew it, cut it out, then gave it to the kids to color and another children’s miracle masterpiece is ready.

Make these oddballs yourself, cut out the details and paint them, if you need templates, please ask, I will send them by email for free. Not really funny little animals.

Well, as always, you can’t do without my favorite vytynanki. This is just a custom or tradition. See what Easter bunnies can come out, plus decorate them with satin ribbons, if you need a template, write at the bottom of the article, I’ll send it for free.

In general, it will be cool and cute.

You can also take any sheet, fold it and glue it into a cone and the result will be something that resembles a bird.

With our youngest kindergarten representatives, I suggest making a paper craft using a base in the form of circles.

And those who are older will like the hatched chick.

The work is also good in the form of an applique; you can do one in a labor lesson with elementary school students.

You can, of course, combine two types of activities: Art and Technology.

By the way, you can just take regular colored pencils and do this, I also have a template for this stand in my piggy bank, so if anyone needs it, write to me.

You can make a product in a very original way without using glue, but instead take a stapler and fasten the parts together, see what comes out.

What do you think of this idea for a stand? It looks really cool, and can you imagine how much pleasure your kids will have making it?

I can also suggest printing out such a blank template.

Or this black and white version on your printer.

A great option would be a souvenir on a stick.

Or this green meadow with birds.

I also liked such a simple idea as a refrigerator magnet that can be decorated with rhinestones or scrapbooking materials.

Well, in conclusion, I would like to show the stages of work of a three-dimensional craft.

Step-by-step instructions for creating crafts from cotton pads and sticks for Easter for children

We'll probably start creating right away a small and very charming little yellow naughty boy called Tsypa. We will need a bunch of cotton swabs, or rather their tips. You will need to paint some yellow by dipping it in gouache, and leave some white. Make this craft, that is, make the base from plasticine, and then simply stick the sticks into it.

Important! You can draw the eyes yourself or find a picture and print them out.

For the next job you will need your good mood and, of course, materials.

We will need:

• cotton pad
• disposable spoon
• colored paper
• glue
• felt-tip pen

Stages of work:

1. First of all, make the blanks, that is, cut out the beak and scallop from colored paper. In this photo everything is visible and shown.

2. Next, draw the wings and then glue them onto a cotton pad. Place a spoon in the center and cover with a second cotton pad. Draw a face and voila, such a beauty can sit in your pot with your favorite flowers and crow).

What other interesting things can you do? I had ice cream sticks lying around, so I connected them together and glued on the eyes and beak, it turned out to be a wonderful animal. By the way, don’t forget about the paws either.

The easiest option would probably be this product, which can also be made with a child of any age; you need to paint the discs with gouache or watercolors, and then build such beauty.

You can also make a picture, together with willows and also from cotton pads. Doesn't it really look cool? Yes, it’s unusual and beautiful!

Chicks

The theme of little chickens is also considered relevant for the spring holiday. Fluffy chicks can be made from pompoms.

To create such a creation you will need yellow threads (preferably wool) and a piece of cardboard.

A small ring is cut out of cardboard and evenly wrapped with thread in several rows. The more rows there are, the fluffier the chicken will become.

When the winding process is completed, carefully cut the outer edge of the threads, and pull the center tightly with thread. The resulting pompom is lightly trimmed, giving it an even shape. All that remains is to glue on the eyes, beak, wings and paws. They can be cut out of cardboard.

Chickens can be made from one or two pompoms. In this case, a smaller blank is used for the head.

Beautiful crafts for Holy Sunday for kindergarten

Of course, preschoolers need ideas for what is easier. so that the kids themselves can cope with the task and can amaze everyone.

What could be easier and faster if you teach them this funny toy, also called a walker. Once, by the way, you and I made such little animals, remember? When it came to puppet theater, I gave you ready-made templates.

We move on and create such a yellow and mischievous souvenir from colored paper, in the form, one might say, of an ordinary sun, but it turns into a chicken that has crawled out of its shell.

But here they took it and added another disposable plate and this is what happened.

Ha, and when I saw this face, I actually blossomed, I never cease to be amazed that so many crafts have been invented from the ordinary little hands of our kids, it’s simply too many to count.

You can, together with the children in the preparatory or senior group, engage in visual arts and make just such a chicken (cockerel) that will have multi-colored wings.

And for children of the second junior and middle group, here is such a simple masterpiece. In just one thing, you can repeat what kind of bird this is, and where its eyes and other parts of the body are.

Or this funny design made from a baby’s leg and paints.

You can also make applique on regular paper plates.

Here's another unusual pencil holder.

You can even make it using the origami technique, although you only have to fold the sheet once. Just right for young talents.

And finally, this type of work such as felting or dipping anything, for example, a dish sponge or soft balls. Moreover, this can be done with an ordinary clothespin. It looks bright and stylish, simply beautiful and original.

I also liked the idea of ​​a fun family activity that you can do with your kids as a group.

And I propose to make this beauty a common or joint activity at school or kindergarten.
