Easter crafts and recipes

Easter’s right around the corner. For those of you who celebrate it, I put together a link roundup of Easter-themed projects and recipes. Most of the projects are easy enough for kids to do. Happy Easter!

Easter projects

Dyeing eggs with onion skins – simply gorgeous
Quick little bunny – made from old baby socks
Make a peeps picture frame – sparkly bunny adorns bright crafty picture frame

Coiled Easter egg basket – made from strips of cotton. Not so easy, but very pretty (and frugal).
