crafts for Easter with your own hands You noticed that at Easter, most oftensunny and warm weather? Yes, and the mood is also sunny, but the soul is warm and happy. Probably, this is explained by the holiday itself, and our light perception of Easter, which, perhaps, is genetically laid. Unfortunately, the tradition of presenting each other with gifts is almost lost. But everything is in our hands, especially if these hands are skillful, and our mood is pre-holiday. And if everything is so, then nothing will prevent us from making crafts for the Passover with our own hands. It's clear, cook cakes, we make Easter cottage cheese, we paint eggs. And what else? Why such an interesting idea? What to please in this bright holiday and loved ones and yourself? Let's try to make, for example an Easter wreath, or unusual Easter candles or some other symbolic things that you can give and decorate the house with them on a holiday.

Easter wreath

We have already learned how to make a Christmas wreath. And we know how to make a valentine wreath for St. Valentine's Day. And why not try and make an Easter wreath. Unusually? Unusually? Well, that's good! We will surprise ourselves and others! As usual for a souvenir wreath we take the basis. For the Easter wreath, it is best to make it round or oval. The base can be cut out of a foam or chipboard, or, for example, twisted from a wire. The resulting basis is "ennobled". If this is a flat ring of foam plastic (DSP), then we paint it with acrylic paint in any gentle color: blue, lemon, beige, salad, peach. If we twist the base of the wire, then we give it a volume, wrapping it, for example, with bast, sisal or corrugated paper. The base is ready. Next, proceed to the decor. What is considered the main symbol of Easter? Egg. So we zadekoriruem their Easter wreath with eggs. To begin with, we will prepare. Take raw eggs and remove the contents from them (and from it - scrambled eggs, fried eggs, biscuit!). You can "release" eggs, puncture small holes at both ends of the egg, or by cutting off part of the shell from the side. If we want to decorate a wreath with colorful eggs, then we will paint them with special dyes for eggs, or by painting with the same acrylic paints. And you can use unpainted white and beige eggs. And do not forget the empty shells to rinse well and dry! The resulting pysanka is attached to the base with a glue gun, placing them as we like. You can sharp ends inside the ring (by the type of flower petals), and you can and in a circle, sideways to the center of the base. Alternatively, we can lay the shells on a thin wire (like beads) and turn it into a ring. And then fill the space left between eggs with any decorative material: feathers from boa, flowers and leaves of cloth, paper or salt dough, fresh flowers and leaves, souvenir figurines of rabbits or chickens. Done! Wreath decorate the festive table or hang it on the door or wall, or leave it for the Easter gift. However, crafts for Easter with their own hands are not limited to the use of empty shells only in the Easter wreath. Of these, you can make original candles. crafts for Easter

Easter Candles

For them we will need eggs, ordinaryhousehold paraffin or stearin candles, acrylic paints or dye for eggs and what will become a candle stand. We prepare the shells differently than for the wreath: neatly break the egg into two halves with uneven edges. The edges in any case will turn out uneven, but this will give candles a special charm. My halves of shells and dried them well. Thus, we receive "cases" for Easter candles, which are stained with dye or acrylic paints. In the meantime, we are preparing the fill. Separate the wick from the paraffin wax, melt it in a water bath, and cut the wick into small pieces, half the length of the shells. Small wicks are dipped in liquid paraffin and dried. After the wicks and shells are ready, we place the first in the second. That is, we put the wick in the shell, fixing it with a slice of plasticine and a toothpick (put the clay on the bottom, and the toothpick from above as a support). Fill the shells with paraffin and wait, when everything is cold. The candles are almost ready. In conclusion, we master the podstavochku of salted dough or plastic or use ready-made stands for eggs. Here such original hand-made articles on Easter can be made using only the traditional symbol of the holiday. And if you do without eggs? Yes, easily!

Other Easter souvenirs

What else can you make presents for Easter with yourhands? In addition to traditional postcards, such a gift can be a lot of nice and touching gizmos. For example, stands for eggs, which can not only be dazzled, but also made in the technique of quilling or macrame. An excellent gift will be associated or sewn rabbits and chickens, which can be "lodged" in woven or glued from paper baskets. Souvenir eggs from beads or salted dough, caskets in the form of Easter eggs or Easter cakes, as well as any useful trifles decorated with Easter attributes (pencils, housekeepers, eyewear cases, book covers and bookmarks). Yes, little is enough for your imagination! Any gift is bound to be a joy to those who receive it and to those who give it.
