Good day everyone! Preparations for Easter are in full swing, the sun is shining brightly outside, the birds are singing, in general the mood is lifted and you want to sing and, of course, create. And they will help us in this case. Today let's make another souvenir in which you can easily put Easter eggs and even put a hen and chicks in it. We are talking about baskets.
I think that you have already learned how to decorate, found the most suitable way for yourself and painted them somehow in a special way this 2020. After all, doing the same thing every year gets boring, you want variety, don’t you?
As usual, I went and strolled through the Internet and what I found there, and in general from various magazines and newspapers, I will show you today, I think you are all for it! By the way, you can also write what else you would like to see in my next articles.
The first thing that comes to my mind is that you can make such a beauty out of paper or cardboard. Or you can cheat a little more, using a lid or something similar as a basis. The box will turn out colorful and original, and most importantly, you can make it in a couple of minutes.
We will need:
- colored paper (can be replaced with office paper) - 2 pcs.
- openwork napkin - 1 pc.
- stationery knife
- satin or other decorative ribbon - 1 pc.
- Hochland processed cheese lid
Stages of work:
1. Take sheets of paper and you need to make them square and then follow these steps which you see in these images.
2. In my opinion, it looks very charming and gentle. Can you imagine, if you put more paint in there, it will definitely be cool!
These cockerels have sunk into my soul, this year we’ll do just such a cool little thing with our little one, do you like it?
Even an ordinary napkin or fabric can be folded in such an unexpected way, such as bunnies.
You can take any idea as a basis and decorate it with corrugated paper.
Either go the original route, for example, find a wooden ring, or make it out of thick cardboard, tie it with thread and decorate it with something, even feathers can come in handy. And place the testicles. This will make a kind of modest stand, and it also looks very good!
And if you are friends with fabric and are head over heels in love with it, then perhaps you will be hooked by this idea from foamiran.
We will need:
- foamiran
- glue gun
- scissors
Stages of work:
1. Make flowers from this fabric, you can take any shape, or like this:
3. Make the base itself green. These will be the leaves.
4. Then follow these steps. You need to buy or make a bow and a handle yourself.
The most favorite activity for kids is playing with plasticine or you can use play dough. First roll it into a bun, and then use flagella to mold it as shown in these instructions.
There are many options, you can come up with something unusual yourself.
You have no idea, but you can even use newspaper strips or paper from old unwanted magazines.
Remember, in childhood we made bookmarks for books this way, this is exactly the same technique.
This is what it might look like if you show up at someone’s house with an Easter egg.
And one more paperwork.
Or consider this option.
They are even made from twine, hiding it in multi-colored fabric.
It turns out that such a seemingly ordinary egg box can also be used to make another souvenir.
Or this one with grass, you need to cut the egg mold.
Cut out imitation grass from any material or paper. You can also decorate a living one.
Place flowers.
And this is what happens, cool!
This is such an interesting idea made from threads and sticks.
You can take regular threads, preferably thicker ones, and wrap them around any glass or container.
Or you can make a laying hen. The base is a candy box.
The fence is made of ordinary paper strips.
You will be very surprised if you look at this miracle.
This beaded craft looks fantastically elegant and beautiful.

And then you apply it to the material and trace these funny figures by hand.
After stitching or hand stitching, remove any unnecessary items.

All that remains is to decorate them, add a nose, mouth and eyes, and embroider these parts of the body with floss threads.
Then give the ears uniqueness and some playfulness, tie them with thread carefully and slowly.
Then stuff the toys with cotton wool or padding polyester.
And now all that is missing is the base, make two circles, insert cardboard.

2. Now rewind the ball with threads randomly. And then boom, pop, pierce it with a needle.
3. Wait until the threads are completely dry, and then take scissors and make a hole.
Each one produces absolutely their own masterpieces.
This time we cannot do without the kirigimi or protruding technique.
You will first have to print the template on your printer, and then use a cutter to cut and glue two bunny blanks together.
Same with the flower.
Do the same with the chickens.
The main thing is to take your time and be careful and everything will work out.
Or will you stick with these options?
This will take a little work.
You can do something interesting and unusual yourself.
I always associate Easter with the sun and light. I enjoyed painting eggs and making appliqués for my family. I liked walking down the street and shouting “Christ is Risen!”
Having matured, I began to understand that for me this is a family holiday, when there is peace and tranquility in my soul. You can already feel the approach of spring and warmth and a strong feeling is forming that something magical is about to happen.
The child also wants to instill respect for this holiday, and one of the stages of such education is to make a craft.
As we know, the symbols of Easter - an egg, a chicken - have symbolic meanings and imply Life. There was no Easter Bunny on the Christian holiday. It comes from Western traditions, but it’s interesting to make it too.
It will be very easy to make paper crafts with children. It easily takes any shape, so it will be interesting for the baby to work with it.
There are a lot of ideas made from paper and cardboard, so let's start with the cute figures of a hare and chicken.
You can draw any shapes, or just an egg, to which add eyes and a mouth.
Divide half of the figure with a horizontal line.
And from it at a distance of 1 cm we draw parallel lines.
Carefully start cutting. You also need to cut out five strips of a different color, 1 centimeter wide.
One edge of the strips of a different color needs to be glued. Tape or glue is suitable for this. If you have tape, wrap it on the wrong side.
Thread the strips, alternating them with the main ones. You will get a weaving technique.
All stripes should be the same width, then the result will look neater.
Here's another idea for cute eggs with pockets for pets.
Paper stand in the shape of a laying hen. A very bright and themed craft.
Using this template, you can cut out the laying hen and glue the stand itself.
An interesting version of a stand made from a tray for eggs and a chicken made of cardboard.
With the same paper tray, you can make another version of stands.
The tray needs to be cut so that there is one separator and one place for the egg. Before the separator, remove all unnecessary paper and backing.
Paint the blank white and glue on the eyes, beak and scallop.
The diagram is shown below.
We cut out according to the template, bend all the allowances and side parts so that the basket can take a semicircular shape.
Glue the seam allowances and the front sides of the handles together.
For those who make cards, I found such a cute little guy. I couldn’t pass it by; by the way, it was made using the scrapbooking technique. It was necessary to come up with the idea to make the button eyes.
For the next application we will take many multi-colored stripes and two sheets of cardboard. One will be the base on which we will paste all the strips in order, one below the other.
And in another sheet of cardboard we will cut out an oval in the shape of an egg and glue it on top of the workpiece.
We can also create such wonderful little bunny-shaped coasters from cardboard. Cut out a strip of cardboard 8 centimeters wide. We form a circle by first measuring it in the widest part of the egg. And glue the sides together with hot glue or connect them with a stapler. Then we measure the bottom and glue it underneath. All that remains is to add ears and eyes.
Lovely present is back in shape eggshells can be done in five minutes.
Use this template that you can print straight away.
And any child will be delighted with a themed garland. Look how rosy and festive she looks, she immediately wanted to smile and start creating.
Here are the bunny silhouettes for cutting out.
Make more preparations. It is better to take double-sided and thick paper.
We glue the tail, it can be made from cotton wool or strands, and connect all the silhouettes.
A funny and very simple congratulations on this happy holiday you can create in the form of a postcard.
And also a fun wreath for inspiration. For it you need to find ribbons, a disposable plate and many different backgrounds printed on paper.
To cut out identical ovals you will need a mold. These helpers are sold at craft stores or in the cookie aisle.
Using glue, overlapping each other, begin to form egg rows.
There are always a huge number of paper ideas. As you can see, all crafts are created very quickly, and they are easy to dispose of if you do not want to keep them as a keepsake.
Easter crafts made from felt
Chickens, baskets and the eggs themselves are made from felt.
I liked the idea of the fabric being shaped like an egg and decorated beautifully. You can use them to make a wreath or hang them on willow trees, thus making an Easter tree.
Attach loops or string to the blanks so that you can decorate willow or curtains with them.
The shape of the egg is very simple, but at the same time it gives a lot of scope to the imagination.
Look how the craftswoman came up with the idea of putting the blanks on skewers. This way it’s more convenient to hold them, and you can also stick them in the ground with flowers or put them in a vase.
In felt, it is important to seal the edges well so that the inner filling in the form of cotton wool or padding polyester does not come out through the seams, otherwise the gift will not look neat.
Felt comes in different thicknesses. Don’t buy one that’s too thick; it will look rough and awkward on such a testicle. It is optimal to choose a thickness of 1.5 millimeters.
Patterns for crocheting eggs
Incredible beautiful crafts are obtained when an egg is crocheted. A delicate openwork composition on the table will immediately attract the attention of guests and delight you with its beauty.
For inspiration, here are a few knitting patterns so you can start preparing now.
You can simply alternate double crochets from different colors or use one of the patterns below.
Here are three more knitting patterns. They are immediately shown how they will look on the egg.
And this is what an egg looks like, tied with single crochets or an elastic band. Looks very cool too.
We don't use a real egg, it's too fragile for handicrafts. Let's use a balloon, inflating it to about the same size as the testicle.
Easter crafts from plastic bottles for school
A very cute and functional idea that any student can make. Make a storage container.
This craft is not embarrassing to show at school and is convenient to use at home. You can store small things in it and fill it with felt circles, then it will work great option decor for the nursery.
Funny little animals, right? For them you will need any bottle, but preferably a small one, a napkin for cakes and decor. The entire master class is shown on a collage.
You can also make a basket with bottles, into which the child will carefully place his own painted eggs.
In this particular idea, I think teeth are superfluous, but I don’t insist on it.
How to make a craft from satin ribbons
Using ribbons you can make an interesting egg decor. Of course, we again take not the real thing with a thin shell, but a homemade base. It’s better to buy it, but you can make it from foam rubber or polystyrene.
Also, such egg-shaped shapes are created from papier-mâché. There are a lot of base options.
As a last resort, you can take an egg, break it at the top and carefully pour the white and yolk through a small hole, and use the almost intact shell as a base.
Secure the edges of the ribbons with tape or hot glue.
And we wrap it, each time fixing the ends from below. Try to ensure that the strips are pressed tightly and that there are no gaps between them.
I also applied pieces on the sides double sided tape so that the tapes do not move relative to each other.
Master class using improvised materials at home (threads, dough, etc.)
I really liked the thread shell. This is such a cute applique.
And you can put anything inside, whether you want chicken, or multi-colored eggs and candies. The idea is simply wonderful.
For this craft we will use threads, paste or PVA glue and a balloon.
We inflate the balloon and tie the tail tightly so that it does not shrink in size until our design dries.
Preparing the paste. To do this, take 1 liter of water and 4 tbsp. flour.
Add water to the flour and stir to break up any lumps.
Then put the mixture on the stove and heat it until it reaches a viscous and sticky consistency. Let it cool and then test for stickiness. It should set well.
We wrap the ball with threads, generously coating each layer with adhesive mixture. You don’t have to save it, because the product is completely natural and easy to make if you suddenly don’t have the required volume.
We wait for the paste to dry completely and burst the ball inside. To see the inside, you need to carefully cut out a circle with scissors.
I also liked the children's idea with puff pastry. It turns out very colorful and harmless.
Knead the dough in a 1:1 ratio. So, we will take 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of salt. This will be our base, then we will introduce five tbsp. sunflower oil and add one glass of flour until a soft and elastic dough is obtained.
We give the dough the finished shape, make holes, mark the pattern and dry it.
You can dry it for a day in the sun or 3-4 hours in a warm oven.
Now all that remains is to paint the blanks with gouache or food coloring.
Thread a string through the holes and decorate the branches, thus creating an Easter tree.
An interesting option for creating an applique using a potato stamp.
Cut a piece from the tuber. First, wash the peel well so that the soil does not fall on the craft.
We give the inside of the stamp a simple pattern in the form of zigzags, circles or other simple geometric shapes. We try to create a distance between the lines of the pattern.
We paint the protruding elements and apply them to paper.
Here's what might happen. Believe me, the child will be captivated by such work for a couple of hours.
If you have napkins and disposable spoons left over from last year's picnic, we will use them too.
And from a disposable cup we will create a bunny face.
The imagination of needlewomen and mothers knows no bounds. And you can create crafts using ordinary household items.
Simple crafts for Easter from cotton pads
The little ones also have something to do, for example, make wonderful chickens from cotton pads. They need to not only be glued in the right places, but also painted in the right color. Sprinkle cereal onto the glue near the beak; egg or semolina will do.
The child will develop fine motor skills and imagination, and a warm attitude towards Easter will already begin to form.
Another interesting and simple idea. For the beak and eye, you can use self-adhesive paper.
We use a cotton pad and a disposable spoon. For the wings you will need a piece of paper.
Easter crafts are done quickly and the child does not have time to get tired or overtired.
How to braid an egg with beads and weaving patterns
I consider the process of weaving a shape with beads to be a craft too. It’s not so much about decorating eggs, but rather the creative work itself is interesting. Yes, and you can take not the testicles themselves, as I already wrote above, but also any other base.
The process starts from the very top. A row of six beads is made, then first one bead is added between them, then two. And the result is an increase in width.
As soon as you reach the widest part of the base, then according to the same principle as you started, proportionally reduce the number of beads.
Here is another interesting weaving pattern.
Or you can make a craft in the shape of an Easter cake, it turns out very realistic and festive.
Thank you, dear readers, for your attention, add the article to your bookmarks so as not to lose it when you want to start creating with your baby.

If you have children or grandchildren, you should definitely like this idea with a visual photo, and especially the younger generation. Arm yourself with the necessary materials at hand and move on to exciting creativity.
To work you will need:
- plastic bottles - liter and two liter;
- stationery knife;
- scissors;
- dye;
- brush;
- small foam ball;
- toothpick;
- disposable fork;
- candle;
- nail clippers;
- ready-made eyes;
- glue gun
Manufacturing process:
- At the beginning of creative work, we will need to prepare building material for the body of the bug. To do this, take all the bottles that you have - from small to large, and cut off the bottom of them with a stationery knife.
- The finished parts should be coated with the paint of your choice in bright colors on both sides - internal and external. If stains remain during the decorating process, it is advisable to repeat the steps. After which it is recommended to dry your workpieces.
- In the meantime, we begin to form the head of the beetle. For this purpose, you need to take a small foam ball and use a stationery knife to cut it into two parts, one of which will be slightly larger. This is what we will need for work. We need to slightly cut off the edge of this foam part so that the future head of the insect fits snugly to the body.
- After we have made the head of the craft with our own hands, we should paint it black on all sides. Take a toothpick and stick it into the beveled edge of the part. This will be our holder while the product is being processed. After the decorating process, we take some time to dry the elements of the body.
- Now we need to make antennae for our bug from a disposable fork. To do this, light a candle and slightly bend the ends of the cutlery teeth using the flame. And when you have succeeded, you need to use nail clippers to cut off all the teeth of the fork to the base.
- When all the parts are ready, you can start assembling the bug. We attach the foam head with a glue gun to the body made from a plastic bottle.
- We need to revive the insect's face with ready-made store-bought eyes and antennae we created earlier. We attach them with glue into holes made using ordinary nail scissors.
- The final step of our creative work will be decorating the back of the ladybug with black dots. For this move you will need black paint. After this, you need to thoroughly dry the craft, then display it in the garden or in the garden, wherever you like. Believe me, your neighbors will be simply amazed at your resourcefulness and creativity.

Beautiful pink flamingo
A craft in the form of a flamingo will look quite beautiful and exotic on your plot of land in the garden or vegetable garden. It is also easy and simple to do with your own hands at home using plastic bottles and paints, and, of course, your spiritual and creative investment. Like any other work on creating decorative products, it will require maximum patience and diligence, since the external aesthetic appearance of your creation will depend on this. Let's get started.
For creativity you will need:
- six-liter plastic bottle or food canister;
- foam ball;
- silicone hose;
- thick flexible wire;
- stationery knife;
- glue gun;
- scissors;
- brush;
- two metal rods or sticks;
- water-repellent paints of pink, pale red, black and white.
Manufacturing process:
- At the beginning of creative work, we will need to make with our own hands all the necessary parts for our craft. First, we make the head of an exotic bird out of a foam ball. We masterfully, but extremely carefully wield the knife to achieve this intended goal. We look at the idea provided by us in the photo and try to create something similar or even better.
- As for the body itself, to make it you will need a six-liter plastic bottle or a canister made of the same material. We cut off its neck, mask the resulting hole with a petal of this material at hand and a glue gun.
- Subsequent creative work will be related to the creation of the “plumage” of a flamingo. We cut it from the same material as the container itself. Their number should correspond to the size of the body in order to cover both the top and, if desired, the bottom of the bird. After the component elements are ready and painted with pink paint, we attach them to the back of the flamingo with a glue gun from the beginning of the plastic bottle to its very bottom.
- Now we connect the bird’s head to the body. For this we need a long narrow neck. We take a strong but flexible wire and a silicone hose, and insert a metal element inside. By the way, the length of the neck is purely your personal matter. We embed the wire pin that has come out on one side into a foam head, which also needs to be painted pink in advance for convenience and the eyes and beak drawn in the corresponding colors. The connection of these two parts - the base of the neck and the head - must be tight and neat. We will need to insert the second end of the wire and silicone hose into the flamingo's body. Just below the disguised neck of the container we make a small hole where it is and insert our product in the form of a neck. We fasten everything with universal glue.
- All that remains is to install our product on the legs. We create them from wooden sticks or metal rods. We cut out the limbs from a plastic bottle, attach them to the legs with wire, and paint the entire structure with a pale red color.
- At the bottom of the body we make two small holes for attaching the legs. We push them through and fix them with glue. Our adorable DIY craft is complete! Give it the most prominent place in the garden or vegetable garden so that everyone, even passers-by, can admire such beauty.

In a house where there are children, there are always small things that we try to get rid of from time to time - this is plastic packaging for toys in the form of eggs. Don't throw them away, you can use them for other holidays. A little imagination and a useless thing will become interesting and individual. So, plastic Easter Egg, decorated with beads and flowers from a plastic bottle and we are expanding our section on handicrafts for the home. As you probably already guessed, this crafts from plastic bottles is done in several stages: preparing for work, decorating the egg with beads and creating.
Crafts from plastic bottles. Tools and materials:
To work you will need:
- plastic egg (sold in stores, usually inside is a voluminous toy for children and jelly beans)
- flowers from plastic bottles, so you will need 2 bottles of different colors: green - from beer and yellow - from DEW drink.
- beads (preferably even and the same size)
- fishing line (diameter size 0.10-0.20mm)
- glue gun (you can do without it)
- scissors,
- needle,
- thin awl or drawing pen,
- wax pencil
DIY crafts from plastic bottles. Master class with step-by-step photos:
Initially, for work we will need a plastic egg and a wax pencil.
It is necessary not to snap the shells tightly, because The pencil is easily erased and you can remove the drawing when you open it further. Use a pencil to apply 1 element of the pattern; the remaining patterns should be applied a little later, when this part is prepared for embroidery with beads.
If you have a thin awl, then use it; if you don’t, you can take a regular pen and clamp a regular needle with an eye in it. Heat the end of the needle over the fire and pierce the plastic shell according to the intended pattern. Step 0.4-0.6 cm.
Then we apply the next pattern, and the procedure of piercing the plastic is repeated. This way we will prepare the surface of the egg for sewing beads on it.
The prepared shell is ready for painting with beads and we will continue to work on crafts for Easter. For convenience, we recommend keeping the beads in a wide bowl, so it will be easy to pry them off with a needle.
We thread the first bead and tie a triple knot on it, for strength. Carefully cut off the tip of the protruding fishing line with scissors.
The most important thing is to start. In the second puncture on the plastic from the outside we thread a bead tied in a knot (it is number 3 according to the diagram), return the needle to the first puncture and add the missing number of beads in place, in quantity it can be either 2 or 3 beads (bead number 1 and 2 according to the scheme). We thread it through the original (No. 3) bead again and add the next number of beads (4 and 5). We thread the corner into the next puncture and return the needle to the previous one. Now you need to thread the bead from the last bunch (No. 5) with a needle and add the next batch. This past-engaged seam gives a cleaner look and greater strength.
Having passed through one element, secure the fishing line with several ordinary sewing knots and drag the tip through several beads before cutting the fishing line. This is how the entire drawing is processed on one part of the egg, and then on the second. The beadwork for the Easter craft is finished.
The next stage, as you probably guessed, is the creation flowers from plastic bottles.
Take a bottle, plastic, which is painted in a rich green color, most pubs have just that. Cut it, cutting off the top and bottom, and then along the entire length. The result will be something like a regular sheet. Two circles are made on this sheet, circle a tin can from canned corn or peas.
From each circle we make a blank similar to a flower, as indicated in the diagram, leaving the middle untouched.
Over a lit candle, you need to process the edges of flowers from a plastic bottle. It is processed not over the flame, but over the hot air of the candle, kept at approximately a height of 4-7 cm above the flame (depending on the intensity of the flame itself). The edges will be carefully melted. Afterwards, we deform each of them a little over the same hot air.
The flower stand made from a plastic bottle is ready. Don't forget to try it on, because... you may need to adjust the petals a little.
We make blanks for plastic flowers from a yellow bottle. To do this you will need 10 squares measuring 2.5 cm on each side. For each flower you need 2 such blanks.
We cut each piece as shown in the diagram, leaving the middle intact.
Carefully process the flowers over hot air. We leave the outer petals of the flower more open, and close the inner ones more tightly. To do this, turn the inner petal over with the center on top and, holding the flower with 4 fingers, quickly pass it over the candle so that the plastic softens, and with your fingers we press the edges inward. You don't need to hold it for long, 1-2 seconds is enough.
Then you need to pierce the middle of each part to connect.
There is initially a hole at the top of the egg; we cover it with a flower, because... the bead will simply fly into it. We begin the stage in the same way as before, when we embroidered the elements. We thread the second puncture and bring the needle out into the first. We collect a flower from a plastic bottle and finish the middle with one bead, after which we return the flower back to the puncture in the corner and bring it into the second one, where the very beginning goes.
The next steps in the design of crafts made from plastic bottles will be the design of the prepared “egg” with previously prepared flowers.
You need to add flowers according to the same principle as the first one.
The final touch is to attach the stand to the plastic egg. You can plant the pieces using a glue gun or by making holes in the green petals and the bottom of the egg and secure with fishing line, sewing the pieces like a button with 4 holes.
Craft for Easter from a plastic bottle and the plastic egg is ready.
You can put a gift in the middle or store small items.
