Easter Crafts 2012
This is an easy paper craft for Easter. You can stack these Paper Egg holders of a shelf and the plus point is that you do not need to boil or break an egg for this. Simply place your egg in the egg holder and display out of reach but in full view on eager on-lookers.
The following method is for 3 Egg holders. Lay a newspaper down on your workspace and begin.1. Take 3 A4 white paper sheets and assemble together.2. Fold the assembled sheets in half lengthwise.3. Bring out your water-colors and paint half of the 3 pages of every page in a dark green shade.4. For a darker contrast add a tint of blue paint (Optional).5. Turn the papers over and paint the opposite sides in a lighter green shade. 6. For an even lighter contrast add a tint of yellow paint (Optional).7. Now clip the ends together with a clothes peg and leave out to dry.
8. After they have dried. Cut along the folds. You will have 6 strips of paper, 3 lighter green and 3 darker green.9. How fold each paper in half, similar to folding a card and glue them together.10. Stencil a bit of grass on each of the glued paper bits and leave to dry. I have used THIS.11. Cut along the grass-outline using scissors or paper cutters. 12. Hold the ends together of the darker green shaded papers and glue down.13. Similarly hold a little more of the ends of the lighter green shaded papers and glue down.14. Leave to dry.15. Using the stem of your paint brush, roll the extended grass towards the outer edges to create a curve. To this for all of the grass on all the papers.16. Place the 3 light green grass papers in-between the darker green ones, one for each. 17. Cut out 3 tiny flowers and paint them your desired color, the brighter, the better. See the reference HERE.18. Now bring out your beads or spare buttons and place one in the center of each flower.19. Glue each flower to the front of your grass holders.20. Display on a high shelf with eggs in the grass-holders.21. Optionally arrange them on a platter with green fake grass around them.If anybody tries this craft, please let me know, how it came out, Post your Pictures if you like and share some ideas.

My Blurps for the upcoming Easter
Sam will be 7months a day after Easter 2012 and I have already purchased colorful balloons to go with all those colorful chocolate eggs. I love whats on Amazon (pic enclosed) I will update a picture of her Easter nursery soon, but am just hoping she doesn’t find a way to pinch one of those blown-up balloons. I have to hang those very high somewhere.
I cannot do the Easter egg hunt with her or hubby at home but I am seriously thinking of cooking something special just for the three of us besides indulging in some Easter 2012 crafts and Easter decorations. Whats next? Easter Mass, Easter Songs and those pretty Easter greeting cards, oops forgot the Baskets and I am so late already? I partially tinted some Easter eggs green
