I am especially egg-cited about these egg-ceptionally (ha!) fun and easy Easter crafts made entirely with household objects. No schlepping to the store, no waiting in line, no expensive price tags…just good old-fashioned crafting with what we have laying around at home.
Because when it comes to crafting, my kids and I share the same belief: The fewer trips to the craft supply store, the better.

Although we discovered this egg carton rooster by Tuteate Y last year, we knew we just had to feature him again this year because he’s just so darn cool looking. The instructions are in Spanish, but hey — that’s what Google Translate is for.

If you have a few spare champagne corks — or can manage to find some after a few rounds of Easter brunch mimosas (heh) — these cork bunnies by Willowday (also shown at top) are a sweet and easy project.

Artzy Creations may just have turned us onto the prettiest possible use of spare coffee filters. That is, if you haven’t used them all up yet, coffee lovers — hey, mornings can be hard! But this Easter craft definitely isn’t, and she’s got all the details at her site.
We love Melanie’s idea to tie them together with ribbon for a festive garland. Another idea: Once dried, you could add people’s names to them and use them as place cards for your Easter brunch.

Which should make even our littlest crafters hoppy. Er, happy.
