Here’s an idea if you want to decorate real eggs for Easter – save your cracked egg shells and glue them back together.
This method is ideal if you don’t want to eat dozens of hard boiled eggs or keel over trying to blow the eggs out of their shells. I carefully cracked the eggs open trying not to shatter them too much. I washed them out and left them to dry in a bowl. Once they were dry, I used Aleen’s Tacky Glue and a small paint brush and glued them back together.
To cover the glued crack, I used pieces of fabric and some berries. You can use paper, ribbon or any embellishment.
So next time you’re making scrambled eggs or baking a cake, remember to save your egg shells. By the time Easter is here, you could have a basketful of pretty eggs.

These adorable bunny finger puppets from the
Purl Bee are perfect to add to an Easter basket or goodie bag.
And, according to Molly at the
Purl Bee, they’re easy to make.
The
Purl Bee provides a material list, a free template download and more pictures with step-by-step instructions on how to make these bunnies.

I think these would also look great as part of a table centerpiece or as place cards for Easter.
I couldn’t resist these stems of pink berries from the dollar store.
I usually go with the “less-is-more” rule but in this case I went with the “more, more, more rule” and layered the clusters of berries all around the wreath.
I added a few of the leaves that came with the berries and this pink berry wreath is ready to hang.
A quick and easy project that adds a pop of pink to this room.

Don’t you love the look and smell of fresh herbs growing in a kitchen window?
I haven’t planted my herb garden yet but in preparation, I made these plant marker flags.
I started with corn cob sticks and wrapped yarn around the top half. The bottom half will go into the dirt so I wanted to keep that plain.
To identify the herbs, I made little flags and tied them onto the sticks. I used a permanent marker to handwrite the herb names onto the fabric.
Next on my to-do list: buy herb plants and enjoy the fragrance and taste of fresh herbs.
