Reuse & Repurpose Old Plastic Easter Eggs-Have a Green Easter




     I come from a long line of crafters.  My, Mom the artist could put Martha Stewart into a Panic Attack.  Given all those superb crafting genes I am only OK.  However, I have searched the web and have found some adorable ideas to reuse those plastic Easter eggs the bonus is it gives the kiddos something to do too!



For this one you would use a Styrofoam wreath to start.  From the dollar store you could purchase the paper gift bag grass.  These eggs are not decorated and it still looks beautiful.

This is easy because I have done this , first get a heavy cardboard and cut to the size you would like your wreath cut out the felt leaves and decorate or not your Easter eggs.  Now Get gluing!  Yeah!


The next project are topiary's.  They are both different one is small and feels very "girly".  I love the buttons.  The larger eggs are needed for the small topiary.



 
 
 
 
This is one for the little boys, so sweet!
 
 
 
 
 
Now for the little girls,
 
 
 
 
They are adorable and glued onto baked polymer clay  Tiny little teacups!
 
Now for the more country look,
 
 
 
 
 
Just add the spots from a paintbrush although this can get messy it looks real nice!
 
 
Now something my kiddos with Autism will love,
 
 
 
 
 
The Easter egg sensory table!
 
 
 
For the finale,
 
 
 
Something everybody will love, 
 
 
Every house needs a little Whimsy,
 
 
 
It is a gift that will just keep giving through the years,
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Meet the Easter Egg Worm!
