Easter Decorations.

 

It's a family tradition in my family to decorate for Easter, in particular to make an Easter tree, which is really twigs in a vase with little decorations hung on it. Simple but effective.
We had an amazing day last week going out to collect all the twigs from the park. All the flowers were in bloom, and the sun was shining. I really felt like Spring was here!
Then we had great fun decorating the Easter tree, and also making Easter paper chains, Easter baskets, bunnies and chick decorations. All the decorations are homemade and we add to our collection each year with more crafting fun.
We also like to get a new Easter book each year to add to the collection, the girls get so excited getting them out each year.
Do you have any Easter traditions?

Another crafty adventure, this time some beautiful bird cards. This is the example card I made the girls for some inspiration, although they both created their own individual birdys.....

 

 

What we did:

• I cut out some bird shapes freehand from scrap patterned papers (which had been half used in scrapbooking).
• The girls chose a bird shape and glued it to the card front.

• They then gave their birds feathered wings, and pom pom eyes.

• They added some chalk legs and some freestyle chalked backgrounds.
• We then added some secret messages inside and popped them in the post box.

The finished cards, and the proud crafters:

 

 

 

 

I think homemade cards, gifts and postcards mean so much more than anything that can be bought in a shop... What do you think???
