Easter is one of those holidays with traditional décor — pastels, colored eggs, and carrots everywhere. It’s pretty easy to decorate for. But what if you want to spice things up? What if you want something just a little bit different? Add a few sequins and see what happens. These sequin Easter egg cake decorations can be made in minutes.
You will need: styrofoam eggs (from the craft store), lollipop sticks, 2 yards of sequins (per egg), hot glue gun, scissors
Using the scissors, puncture a small hole the width of the lollipop stick in the bottom of the egg. If the paint peels off, it’s okay. The entire surface will be covered with sequins. Insert the lollipop stick in the bottom of the egg. Starting at the top of the egg, place a small amount of hot glue in the center and attach the beginning of your sequin rope. Carefully wrap around the surface of the egg dabbing occasionally with hot glue as you go. Once you get to the bottom, cut the end of your sequin strand, and seal with a small dot of hot glue. Repeat steps for several other eggs in other colors. Place on the top of a cute cake and admire! You can also put the eggs on toothpicks to decorate cupcakes!

Add some extra pizazz to presents and baskets this year with stitched keepsake gift tags. Attach these Easter egg tags to gifts for teachers, neighbors, and the kiddos during this hip-hoppity holiday.
You will need: plastic yarn canvas, yarn, yarn needle, scissors
Cut an oval, egg shape from yarn canvas that is about 3 inches tall and two inches wide at it’s widest point. Select two yarn colors to work with, decide on a basic pattern, and thread the first of the two colors through the yarn needle. Depending on your design, you’ll need about 1.5 to 2 feet of yarn per color for one egg to be on the safe side. Begin weaving your yarn through the holes of your egg to create the desired pattern. Once you’ve finished with one color, tie the yarn off in the back with a double knot and thread your next color. Once the egg is completely covered, tie off color number two with a double knot in the back and cut off any excess. Add a yarn loop to the top of the egg and the tag is finished and ready to hang from a package or Easter basket for the holiday season.

Usually when you think of Easter, pastels and egg dyeing immediately come to mind. Looking for some new Easter egg decorating ideas? Here’s a fun and easy Easter project for kids that is anything but boring: googly-eyed Easter eggs.
You will need: hard boiled or blown eggs, craft glue, googly eyes (6 and 7mm), markers or paint pens (optional)
Start with a plain brown or colorfully dyed egg and add small dabs of glue to a few areas at a time that you’ll want to add goggly eyes. Place an eye on top of each dab of glue and gently press down. Repeat this process until your egg is completely covered in googly eyes or you’ve reached your desired look. Wait for the glue to dry completely and you have an unusual abstract, egg monster that boys (especially) and girls will love.
For making faces, glue two googly eyes onto a plain egg and then paint or draw on the rest of the face, hair, and even a bow tie.
