Make it in Moments: Easter

If you’re looking for a quick and clever Easter decoration this spring, consider this adorable and fun basket to showcase those good eggs in your life. Just follow these simple instructions, and you’ll have a unique and festive springtime piece for your classroom, Sunday school, or family gathering.




1. To begin, get the Easter Egg 12 x 12 Scrap Page template by Lynda Angelastro.


Get the template HERE
2. There are four brightly colored pages featuring a back and front for each of 24 eggs.  There are eggs for boys, eggs for girls, and a style to fit each member of your class or family. Once you have chosen the pages you want, customize them with the photos you want and add any additional embellishments that suit your fancy


3. Delete any unused template pages and order your project.


4. When your printed pages arrive, carefully cut out the back and front of each egg and match the edges.

5. Using florist’s picks, heavy green wire, or wooden shish kabob sticks, glue the eggs together around the pick. You can wrap the shish kabob sticks with green florist’s tape first, or attach floral leaves to any of the “stems” with the tape.

Find a nice basket (dollar stores usually have inexpensive holiday-themed baskets), and glue a piece of Styrofoam to the bottom. Cover this with enough Easter grass to hide the foam then arrange the picks by pressing them into the foam. Add silk flowers or floral leaves to create a garden look, and finish the arrangement off with a springtime bow or wire ribbon.


This clever and fresh basket makes a wonderful centerpiece or party focal point and will surely be the talk of your Easter gathering. To start this project, sign up for the Inspirations Class on March 10! You can register for the class HERE
