One idea would be to create a set of these and use them as decoration for an Easter brunch table. Instead of “Happy Easter” you can write the names of each guest on the card and place one at each setting. Older children can help make these but caution is recommended when using the hot glue gun.   Copyright: All patterns, pictures and text found on Craftideas.info are property of this website and may be only printed out and used for private or non-commercial purposes.

For this project you will need: - White corrugated cardboard - matted plastic Easter egg or real cleaned   out egg - red checked ribbon - tan and white cardstock - pinking shears - black and red acrylic paint - 2-sided adhesive foam tape - paint brush size 0 and bristle paint brush - red marker - thin gold wire - tacky glue - hot glue gun Tip: To blow out an egg, you need to first wash the outside of the egg with hot water. Then poke a hole through the top and bottom with a needle and enlarge the hole some. Insert a straw through the hole and blow the inside yolk and egg white out. Rinse through the hole with hot water to clean the inside of the egg out. To hang then the egg, tie a string or wire around the middle of a small piece of toothpick. Insert the toothpick then in one of the holes and turn so that it remains in the egg. Instructions: 1. Cut a piece of white corrugated cardboard to the size of 15 cm x 15 cm. 2. Roll the cardboard into a tube like form and overlap the beginning over the end and glue together with the tacky glue. You may choose to use paper-clips to hold the ends together until they are dry. 3. Design a face onto the egg. Using the size 0 brush, dot 2 eyes with black acrylic paint using the other end of the paint brush, clean the end then dot a red nose. Using the paint brush end, make a small line for the mouth. 4. Using the bristle paint brush, dry brush red paint on for rosy cheeks. 5. Make a bow out of the checked ribbon and lay aside. 6. Print out the patterns so that the ear is the measured size on the pattern (5.5 cm). Transfer 2 ears and 2 hands on white cardstock. Transfer the sign onto tan cardstock. 7. Cut out the sign and write “Happy Easter” on it using a red marker. 8. Glue the hands onto the top of the sign. 9. Fold the bottom of the ears slightly at the bottom and glue close. Use a paper clip to hold each one in place until the glue is dry. 10. Attach the ears to the egg with hot glue. 11. Hot glue the head into the top of the tube. 12. Hot glue the ribbon onto the tube. 13, Attach the sign with a piece of foam tape or hot glue it to the tube.
