A few weeks ago I went to Michaels and saw that they had a bunch of new yarn, including several new types and colors of Caron Cakes. One that I thought looked really fun and a perfect color way for spring was one of the Caron Upside Down Cakes in the color Candy Floss.

Friday Five: 5 Quick Easter Crafts

  

Easter is just over a week away, so I thought a good theme for today's Friday Five Round-up would be Quick Easter Crafts. I tried to choose a few different kind of crafts, but all things that can be made pretty quickly so there is still plenty of time to make them before Easter. 

Little Spring Bunny

Easter is just around the corner and I have several patterns to share in the week or so leading up to it. To start off I have a little crocheted bunny pattern. These little bunnies are only about 7" tall standing, 5" tall sitting, so they are the perfect little size to stick in an Easter basket and they work up pretty fast. 

Squishy Bunny

Last year at Easter time I made a Squishy Chick inspired by the little Squishmallows that my daughter was obsessed with, and this year I decided to make a matching Squishy Bunny.

February and March have been super busy months for me personally, lots of family stuff going on including a lot of medical stuff, and because my focus has needed to be taking care of those things I feel like I have not gotten as many Easter projects up as I planned. It doesn't help that Easter is on the earlier end of where it can fall this year. So here we are a week and a half before Easter and I have a few more projects done that I want to squeeze in before Easter. 

Squishy Chick

Today I have another project that I made with Easter in mind, although it doesn't actually have to be for Easter. I have a daughter who loves Squishmallows and other soft, squishy stuffed animal type toys like them. This little squishy chick was inspired by those type of stuffed animals, a really basic shape, but soft and squishy and cuddly.

Bunny Tails Sign

With Easter just around the corner I have been wanting to make some Easter decorations, but since it is coming up quick I wanted something I could make up really fast. This little Bunny Tails Sign fit the bill perfectly.

I feel like January always starts the year off so slow, it feels like it will never end, but then somehow in the blink of an eye here we are in the middle of March and Easter is right around the corner. I have a few Easter projects that I have been working on and I am hoping to get them up with enough time to for you to make them in time for Easter.

Easter is only a few days away, but I thought I would share one last Easter project. These little bunny treat bags turned out so cute.

Easter Egg Embroidery Sampler

 I really enjoy embroidery and used to do it a lot more often. When I was in college I worked in a local consignment/quilt shop and I made and sold embroidery patterns. I'm not sure why I haven't done a lot of embroidery lately, but every once in a while I get the desire to pick it up again. 

More Crocheted Surprise Eggs

 -This post may contain affiliate links-

A few years ago at Christmas time I did a 12 Days of Crocheted Stocking Stuffers Series where each day for 12 days I shared a small crochet project that would fit in a stocking. There was a variety of different projects included in the series, but one of the projects was a set of little Crocheted Surprise Eggs. 

Carrot Shaped Dipped Rice Krispie Treats

I'm not sure why I have carrots on my mind for Easter projects this year, but for some reason I do since this is the second carrot themed project in a row that I am sharing. Earlier this week it was a crocheted carrot bag, and now dipped carrot shaped Rice Krispie treats for a fun Easter treat. 

Crocheted Carrot Drawstring Treat Bag

A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw a picture someone shared of a crocheted drawstring bag that was a peachy color with green at the top. For some reason, even though the bag was just a normal rectangle shape, and it was peach not orange, and had absolutely nothing to do with carrots, it immediately sparked an idea in my mind to make a carrot shaped/colored drawstring bag for Easter. 

Easter Perler Bead Designs

With another holiday quickly approaching I thought it was time for some new Perler Bead designs. This time for Easter. 

Easter Egg Painted Rocks

My oldest daughter had a Zoom activity a couple of weeks ago with her church youth group where they were painting rocks. They used paint pens to make their rocks, rather than paints and a paintbrush that I normally use. 

Yarn Wrapped Easter Eggs

Lately I have been enjoying really quick and easy craft projects. You would think being home more would mean more time for projects but that is not the case. Instead I find myself trying to find a few minutes here and there throughout the day to work on my own craft projects, or to make stuff with the kids. But with everything going on I find myself craving that creative time even more than normal.

EGG-cellent Easter Tags

Last month I ordered a bunch of Easter stuff from Oriental Trading Company for some post I was working on with them. I ordered some things I could use to make Easter crafts (like my bunny wreath and paint poured eggs), and I ordered some stuff to put together Easter Basket ideas for kids. They had tons of fun themed eggs and toys. I ended up choosing some donuts and "sweet treats" themed stuff including, ice cream cone eggs, donut plushies, sweet squishies, and sprinkle bracelets.

Paint Poured Easter Eggs

Being stuck at home the last couple of weeks has been rough, especially with all of us in the same place all the time and trying to figure out all of the schedules, schoolwork, and zoom calls with all of the different teachers. I found myself feeling extra grouchy and short with my kids and I realized I had been so busy making sure everyone else had everything they needed, got on their calls, had quiet space to do their work, and all everything else that I was not taking anytime for myself.

Now that March has arrived the weather is starting to feel a lot more like spring and I am definitely feeling ready for it, including working on spring and Easter crafts.

He is Risen Easter Egg Activity

I am really late getting this post up since Easter is only a few days away but I still wanted to share it. This is really simple Easter activity that focuses on Christ and his resurrection and is a great way to discuss the spiritual side of Easter with kids in a fun, interactive way. It isn't really anything new, I have seen lots of versions of this activity on the internet but this is the version my family has used for many years. And even though Easter is only a few days away it is super easy to put together so there is still time.
