Free Easter Cards

Clear away all the egg dying paints (you may like to store these in air-tight jars for more craft projects) and set up your paints for the next exciting craft creation...the free Easter card.

How about turning the egg carton into one of Nannie CanDo's Easter gift ideas!


Put down some newspaper and pop on a painting smock or one of Daddy's old shirts.

• Plain white paper
• An empty egg carton
• Paint and paint brushes, you could even use spray paint
• Craft glue or hot melt glue
• Shredded clear or colored cellophane
• Photo of you or a picture that you love
• Colored ribbon or raffia
• Shredded wood wool(optional)
• Stickers(optional)
• Glitter

Step 1

Frames are great...Perhaps make a straw frame by gluing colored straws around the edges of the paper.

Step 3

This is then glued onto the front of the egg carton.

You could even add your hand print. Just paint your hand, press it onto the paper and there you are, a very personal picture of you!

You could even use tissue paper or perhaps colored tissue serviettes(you can get these in any color at any supermarket and make handy additions to the craft box!

Step 5

Maybe add a little yellow chicken in some of the sections instead of the eggs.

• Cut out a piece of colored construction paper in the shape of an egg
• Punch a hole in the top end
• Add a finger print signature or write your name
• Tie it onto your free Easter card egg carton
