Easy Easter Goody Bags to DIY

April 6, 2020April 2, 20202 Comments

Good morning! I hope everyone is doing well. I’m not sure what our Easter is going to look like this year, but I still wanted to give my kids a little bag of goodies even though they are adults. I think they like it too! I made these cute little bags for them this year.

Items you need:

small paper bag
ribbon
stencil or shape to trace
clear cellophane
ribbon
hole punch
scissors
pencil
tags for names
candy!

I used a cookie cutter for my shape. I liked this bunny shape. I centered it where I wanted it to be on the bag and traced around it with the pencil.

Once I had the tracing, I carefully cut it out with my scissors.

I placed a piece of blue paper behind it so you could see the shape.

I cut out a square of clear cellophane, large enough to cover the whole design. I taped it to the inside of the bag. This will keep the candy from falling out!

I punched two holes in the top of the bag, through both sides of the bag, so I could tie the bag closed with a ribbon.

I always give my kids a chocolate bunny, so that when in the bag first, and then I added some other smaller candies to fill the bag.

I had these circle key rings and the letters in my stash, so I joined the two together. I made a hole in the cardboard letter so I could add it to the key ring.

Once the bag was full, I tied the top closed and added the initial key ring.

I think they turned out pretty cute! Perfect for kids, both small and grown up!

I know my kids will enjoy getting them as much as I enjoyed making them!

This was a fun project to put together and fun to give to the kids! I hope you have a happy spring and Easter!

My Entryway is Ready for Spring

Good morning! It’s March! And Easter is at the end of the month! I don’t like when Easter is so early. It just seems too soon and then it’s a long time until summer. Plus it’s too cold to wear a cute little summery dress for Easter. 🙂 Have you done some spring decorating? I have done a little. Mostly my entryway and living room. Lauren had a jewelry party at my home a week ago, so I spruced everything up! It’s nice to look around and see the cheerful spring colors.

I keep my same basic pieces here-my door table, the beach striped stool, and the green picnic basket. Then I change around the accessories.

I really like the soft colors of spring. It really brightens up the house when outside may be rainy and gloomy.

I added some speckled yellow and blue eggs to the lantern. I also placed some moss ones at the bottom to fill it up a bit more.

I found these cute little eggs a the 99 Cent Store. I love the turquoise and gold! By placing them under a cloche, it makes them seem more special.

See the little egg next to the bird? It’s an real bird egg. At our old house, we had a lot of trees, including a huge, old oak tree. We would find bird’s nest and eggs quite often. This one happened to survive the fall to the ground.

Of course, I had to add a bunny! It’s Easter! This one has such as sweet little face. I used a moss green blanket in the basket and it’s the perfect background for the bunny.

I am ready for spring! Not only my house, but myself too! For your convenience, I have included some links below for similar items. Have fun decorating for spring!

Cute and Simple Easter Egg Decorations

March 31, 2017March 30, 20176 Comments

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week! I am reposting this because I found that you can still purchase these items or similar items. Enjoy!

So, this project started when I was walking through the 99 cent store. And to be honest, I love shopping at the 99 cent store. I can go and buy dog treats, Arnold Palmers, lunchables, spatulas, mixing bowls, and stuff for your car all in one spot. It’s like a lesser version of Walmart!

While shopping through the 99 cent store, I came across some Styrofoam eggs that could be used for decorating for Easter. And then I saw some smaller eggs on Kabob sticks. And I thought, what if I put the smaller eggs in the larger egg to make an arrangement?

And then I bought the supplies!

I bought two of the bigger eggs, one package of bigger eggs on sticks, and two packages of the smaller eggs.

I split all the eggs into two separate piles. There were four big eggs in each arrangement and ten smaller eggs in each arrangements. I knew that the biggest problem was going to be the long Kabob sticks. So as I went along, I broke off the sticks to make them shorter and easier to stick into the large Styrofoam eggs.

And here are the end results.

So…I’m not completely happy with how they turned out. I like all the colors worked together, but it didn’t go exactly as planned for how the eggs looked once they were in the giant eggs. I had a completely different idea of what they would look like when they were done, and this isn’t what I had in mind.

But other than that, it was a very simple project to do for Easter. I only spent $5 creating this, but you could spend a little more if you wanted to add more egg Kabobs (or whatever they are actually called), go for it. This is what I made with what I had, but I might go back and buy more egg Kabobs to fill in the arrangement.
