East er Bunny Lid Garl and

You can make an adorable Easter bunny garland using lids. For this green craft you will need:

• Several old lids (You can use lids of all sizes and materials as long as they are round.) • White, black, and pink paint • Paintbrush • Ribbon • Scissors • Hot glue sticks • Hot glue gun • White foam sheets

Start this decoration by painting all of the lids white. While the lids are drying cut ear shapes out of the foam sheet; remember to cut enough ears for all of your lids. Each lid will make one bunny face. When the lids have dried add a pink heart for a nose, whiskers, and cute little oval shaped eyes. You can add different styles of features to each face for a fun twist as well.

After the bunny faces have dried glue the ears onto the backs of the lids and allow them to dry. To complete this green craft simply glue the lids to the ribbon in even intervals. Hang this green decoration around your home for Easter, and you will be proud of your homemade craft.

Egg Carton Chicks

You can make cute homemade baby chick decorations using an egg carton and a few other supplies. For this green craft you will also need:

Yellow and orange paint Black permanent marker Paintbrush Glue

Scissors Yellow feathers

To begin this homemade Easter craft cut out individual sections of the egg carton. This will leave you with round sections, and you should paint these yellow. Use the leftover scraps of the egg carton to cut out small dimond shapes, paint these tiny pieces orange and set aside to allow them to dry. Once completely dry fold the diamond shapes in half. Use glue on the back of the folded diamond and attach it to the egg carton.

Once everything is dry add black dots for eyes. Glue the feathers to the top, back, and sides of the chick to finish the look. These homemade Easter chicks can be added to other green decorations, set on tabletops, mantels, and counters, or they can be strung from ribbon to make a homemade garland for Easter.
