Easter is coming very soon, and children love it very much. Firstly, because this holiday is very tasty and bright. On this day, the tables are always full of various delicacies - these are soft buns that melt in your mouth, sunny cheesecakes, and much more. And of course, we haven’t forgotten about, which you can use to fight and win tournaments in this simple activity.
This holiday also becomes memorable because many people want to do and make some kind of holiday craft with their own hands. And once you get the hang of it, even a few. These include baskets for eggs, eggs themselves, various stands, cute figurines of chickens and Easter bunnies. And also postcards.
Kids love to make different things from paper and various scrap materials. If their mother, grandmother, or older sister, or maybe even their father or older brother helps them, then they can do this for hours.
Crafts are now made in kindergartens and schools. And if in the garden, kids take their first steps under the guidance of a teacher, then in schools they even give homework to do something for the holiday with their own hands. And then mothers begin to look for something interesting and original to do.
In today's article we will look at various ways to make various cute little things that can be made quickly and easily. Just a little perseverance, and your hands will make a cute craft that you can give to your family and friends, as well as congratulate teachers and educators with its help.
It will take no more than 5 minutes to make such a simple and at the same time necessary and beautiful egg basket. It will be made in the origami style beloved by many.
Any student can cope with this task. It just takes a little effort and perseverance. But what a great holiday gift you can make.
We will need:
- sheet of double-sided colored paper
- stripe in contrasting color
- scissors
Manufacturing:
1. From a rectangular sheet of paper, we need to cut a square. To do this, fold the sheet diagonally, connecting the two edges. It looks like two triangles are formed, folded together.
2. Cut off the excess piece of paper.
3. Expand the square. Now we will need to tuck all the corners to the center. There is no need to rush; all newly obtained triangles should be the same size and accurately connected at the central point.
Each internal figure folded into a triangle, and the overall result was a double square. We turn it over to the other side, that is, with the curved ends down.
4. The next step is to fold the edges up again, connecting them in the center.
You should end up with triangles, but with a cut in the middle.
5. Form the bottom of the paper basket. To do this, bend each corner to the opposite edge. Iron the fold line very well.
You should get a figure like this.
6. Turn the workpiece over again.
Roll each of the 4 squares into a triangle.
7. Now we will give the workpiece the appearance of a basket. To do this, lift each corner up and bend it to form a three-dimensional shape. Then slightly lift the edges to form a box inside.
We iron the inner seam along the perimeter of the square with our finger to more clearly define the shape.
8. Now we need to make a handle. To do this, take a prepared strip of contrasting paper and cut a strip 1 cm thick. To make the handle stand out, it can be carved. To do this, you will need to cut the strip not with ordinary scissors, but with curly scissors.
9. Coat one side with glue and stick it onto the remaining red paper on one of the long edges. Cut a long strip with a total thickness of approximately 1.5 - 2 cm.
10. Inside the basket, or rather on its wall, there is a slot where you can insert the handles from the basket. And to create a more durable fastening, it is better to lubricate the edges with glue.
This will make it easier and stronger to hold on. After all, we will put an egg in the basket.
11. The basket can be further decorated. To do this, cut out small oval circles and paint them, just like you paint eggs. Glue on the bases of the handles and on the sides.
This is such a beautiful craft that resulted. You can put a painted egg in it, or something else, such as candy or cookies.

And it’s very, very simple to do.
We will need:
- cotton pads
- a piece of bright fabric
- bow
- small plastic spoon
- felt-tip pen
Manufacturing:
1. Draw a perky face on the convex side of a regular white plastic spoon.
2. Cut long ears from cotton pads or pieces of white felt. Glue liners of a bright contrasting color into the middle, cutting them out of fabric.
3. Glue cotton pads on both sides of the spoon handle, thereby forming a body. Glue on the bow.
That's it, our bunny is ready.
To decorate a gift, plant grass in a bowl in advance. In a week she will grow up so beautiful and green. Stick the end of the handle into the ground, and the gift is ready!

Original craft made from felt and thread “Easter Bunny” (for students of 2nd and 3rd grades)
You can make such a cute rabbit from threads and felt.
After reading the description, you will be surprised how easily this can be done. So get your materials and tools ready and let’s get started. And if you encounter difficulties, then ask your mother for help.
We will need:
- bright thick threads for knitting
- chenille wire
- eyes
- scissors
- hot melt adhesive
- cardboard
Manufacturing:
The technique for making such a cute toy is based on the ability to make pom-poms for hats. And if you know how to do this, you can do it without difficulty. And if you don’t know how, then learn to do two things at once.
1. To make a pompom, we need a piece of cardboard. From it you will need to cut out a round shape like this with a notch. To make the shape more durable and not bend, you can make it double by cutting out two templates. Their size should be 11 cm in diameter, with an inner circle of 3 cm.
2. Prepare thick, bright threads for knitting. Starting from the middle of the mold, wind the threads around it.
3. Cut them into two equal parts along the cardboard line.
The result will be such a fluffy preparation.
4. Then cut a piece of thread 30 centimeters in length, and insert it between the cardboard blanks and tie it tightly. Then remove the cardboards.
5. Trim the resulting pompom by aligning the threads to the same size. Cut off any remaining tail.
6. Cut out the paw parts from felt. To do this, we will need two pieces of material measuring 4x6 cm. Cut two ovals from them. Glue them with hot glue.
7. For the ears we will need more felt, two pieces measuring 6x2 and one strip of another, lighter color, 7x1.5.
From two strips of dark color, cut out two pointed ovals, giving them the shape of ears.
Fold the white strip in half and cut out the inside of the ears from it.
Apply glue to one of the ends and fasten both parts to make the ear voluminous.
8. Spread the threads on the pompom and glue the prepared parts. Use glue to glue on the eyes. They are purchased from us.
9. Cut the chenille wire into three equal parts.
Chenille wire is wire wrapped in lint. It is fluffy and bends perfectly.
We will make antennae from it. After cutting it into pieces, connect it in the center and twist it relative to each other so that it holds. Glue onto the pompom.
10. Cut out a round piece from felt that will be the spout. Glue it.
Let the toy dry. Everything is ready and very beautiful!
Easter egg using paper quilling technique for a school competition (master class)
And such a gorgeous egg can be made using the quilling technique. With its bright and colorful appearance, it will certainly attract the attention of a strict jury, and they will linger near it for a long time, admiring its beauty. And maybe they will be awarded first place for this work.
This work requires accuracy, attention and a desire to achieve results. And then everything will certainly work out.
We will need:
- quilling paper
- PVA glue
- glue brush
- scissors
- pen refill
Manufacturing:
1. First, we need to stock up on eggs. This may be a product made of plastic or other material. But if this is not the case, then you can use just a hard-boiled egg for the mold.
You need to stick a thin strip of paper on it in the center, wrapping it around the egg twice. Glue the edges with glue.
In order for the glue to better hold the elements together, pour a small part of it into a mold, or simply onto a piece of cardboard. It will thicken slightly and will glue faster and better.
2. Also prepare paper. Ready-made quilling kits are sold. Today we have prepared a set of 3 mm thickness. This size will be ideal for a small egg, and the craft will look neater.
If you can’t find a set, you can buy double-sided colored printer paper and cut it into thin strips of the desired width and the same length.
3. First, you need to twist the blanks from strips of paper. To do this, take one of the strips and coat one edge with glue, then carefully screw it onto the rod. Try to ensure that the loops do not fall off and are positioned strictly one above the other. The more accurate the workpieces are, the more accurate the final result will be.
For one workpiece, wind one strip of paper.
4. Then remove the curl, put it on the table, and let it unwind a little to make it look more beautiful. It will also be easier to make leaves and petals from such a blank.
Place each subsequent workpiece on the table next to the previous one and allow it to unwind to an equal size. When this happens, fix it with glue, covering the edges.
Think over the design and colors. That is, how and in what color scheme you will get the craft.
5. We begin to decorate the egg from the center, namely from the base that we have already glued earlier. You can glue the blanks in the form we prepared them. Or you can give them the shape of a leaf. To do this, take the workpiece from both sides, stretch it to the sides and lightly press the edges to form a corner. You will get a figure like this.
We glue the first one onto the green strip of the base, then we lubricate the place next to it and the side of the first workpiece with glue, we glue the second one next to it, then the third one, and so on in a circle until the very end.
Let the first row dry thoroughly. To dry, it is better to place the egg on a stand. A cap from any plastic bottle will do for this.
6. Then move on to the second row. And while the first one is drying, we begin to twist the blanks for it. Choose a different contrasting color for this. We also give them the shape of a petal. To do this, squeeze the edge of the circle only on one side.
7. Place the second layer not in a row, but through one green leaf. Glue to the side of the leaves. Align so that the egg shape is maintained. And let it dry completely again.
8. In the meantime, while our beauty dries, roll up blanks of a different color. And give them the shape of leaves again, pressing them on both edges. Then fill in the empty spaces between the pink petals.
Then twist more circles and stick them next row. Give each row the opportunity to dry. And you can also fix them with rubber bands.
9. For the top, take a different color, and twisting the rounds, fill the empty surface with them.
Let the glue dry completely. Then carefully remove half of the craft from the egg.
10. But first you need to draw the tops of the lower half on the egg with a felt-tip pen. So that we do not make a mistake with the joining of parts at the last stage.
While the first half was drying for the second, we had already prepared leaves, petals and circles. And by analogy with the first part, we repeat the same thing. You can use the same colors, or you can make them different and in a different order.
11. After drying, remove this half and glue both parts.
12. Then we make a stand and place our beauty on it.
But really, look how beautiful the egg turned out! “Live” it looks even more attractive.
Don't be afraid that you won't be able to repeat the result. The most important thing is to have patience. If it doesn’t work the first time, then go back to the stage where the error occurred. Fix it and everything will go smoothly.
And there is one more small piece of advice. If you are making a quilling-style craft for the first time, then wrap the egg in cling film. And when you make the first part and fix it with glue, the film can be removed. The same can be done with the second part.
This will make fixing the parts easier.
Video on how to make a foamiran basket for decorated eggs
Working with a material such as foamiran requires accuracy and perseverance, especially when you make any small parts from this material. These are usually flowers and leaves.

DIY holiday card is easy and simple
This card is also easy to make yourself. Especially if you have a couple of ready-made felt figures. Or they can be replaced with cut out paper figures on the appropriate theme.
A postcard with good wishes will be a welcome gift for Easter.
We will need:
- double-sided colored cardboard
- contrast colored paper
- ribbon
- two felt figures
- double sided tape
Manufacturing:
You can choose the size and shape of the postcard yourself. And we will make it in the shape of an egg.
1. Cut out a folding egg shape from double-sided colored cardboard so that you get two halves on the spread. Subsequently, you can write a congratulatory text inside.
2. Then cut out a slightly smaller egg shape from contrasting paper.
3. Wrap it with ribbon crosswise.
Tie a beautiful bow on the front side. It is desirable that the color also differs from the main color of the postcard.
4. Attach double-sided tape to the wrong side of this part on four sides.
And glue the detail to the top of the future postcard.
5. Now all that remains is to glue the felt figures and the card is ready.
She turned out so beautiful!
Inside you can write a congratulation for the person to whom it is intended.
DIY Easter crafts made from pasta
If you want to make a beautiful and original thing for the holiday, you can make it from ordinary pasta. You get true pleasure and satisfaction from the very process of making this or that craft. Because the end result always amazes with its exquisite beauty.
Recently, some works have already been elevated to the rank of art. They make tea sets, luxurious vases, and formal candlesticks.
However, children do not lag behind, and also make simple, beautiful vases, coasters and decorate eggs for Easter.
To make any product, different execution techniques are used. Balloons are widely used. They are inflated to the desired size and then decorated with pasta using glue. After the glue has dried, the ball is pierced and removed. But the shape given from the pasta remains.
The second way is when using dishes. For example, a cup, saucer, or bucket. It all depends on what shape you would like to get in the end. The dishes are wrapped in cling film, and the future product is formed on it.
Then, when the product is completely dry, it can be removed from the used dishes.
Sometimes the product is left in the same form as it was made, but most often it is painted in various colors. Gold and silver colors are especially welcome in coloring.
Flour products of different formats, sizes and patterns are often used.
This allows you to create simply gorgeous masterpieces.
It's very nice to make such a beautiful thing. It would seem that what is wrong, some ordinary pasta?! But look how beautiful it turns out. It will be a pleasure to decorate your home for the Bright Holiday with such souvenirs, as well as make a present to your friends or loved ones.

Handicrafts before Easter!
In the Christian tradition, Easter occupies a special place as the “Feast of Feasts.” This is precisely the main meaning of the Orthodox faith - the deliverance of people from the power of death and sin. The Orthodox Church has been celebrating Easter for more than two thousand years. Its meaning was taught by the apostles, who passed on the tradition of celebration to their disciples. Thus, from generation to generation, the tradition of celebrating Easter has reached us and spread throughout the world.
The Easter holiday is moveable, that is, its date in each specific year is calculated according to the lunar-solar calendar. Easter is preceded by Great Lent, a time of abstinence, when all holidays, including family ones, are transferred to the celebration of Easter, and the scope of Easter festivities is associated with breaking the fast after Lent. The symbols of Easter are everything that expresses Renewal (Easter streams), Light (Easter fire), Life (Easter cakes, eggs and hares)
Celebrating Easter is, of course, not only about attending divine services. This holiday has always been loved by the people and many customs are associated with it: decorating the table in a special way, preparing special treats, giving each other special gifts!
Life in worries and works continues every day, but we must not forget about our health and relaxation, good impressions and new positive emotions. One of the best holidays is a trip to a holiday home or sanatorium, as well as comprehensive treatment and recovery of the whole body. Holidays in Crimea, all the best tourist places, beaches, museums, amazing sights, as well as types of resort areas, climatic features and much more are here

It is best to use willow branches to make it. Place pebbles, pebbles, floral foam, moss, and soil in a wide-necked vase or small bucket. You can simply place willow branches in a vase with water. The main decoration for the tree should, of course, be Easter eggs. It's very easy to make them from salt dough. To do this, you can use an Easter egg stencil cut out of cardboard. The best way to paint Easter eggs made from salt dough is with acrylic paints.
Older children will be interested in making their own Easter eggs from thermomosaics. Let your imagination run wild by coming up with intricate patterns to decorate your Easter eggs. Just remember to leave small holes in the Easter eggs in case you suddenly want to hang them on the Easter tree.
