    I saw some ace photos of Easter crafts by @Deb4 in this thread

    I thought the topic deserved its own thread, so please, if you've got any Easter DIY tips to share, and any photos from past years, pop them here.

    (Please be careful not to upload any photos that contain personal identifying info, such as faces.)
    Shouldn't these be in the Crafting board, rather than Old Style? 
    You're right @Floss. I've moved the thread. Thank you.  B)

    One from MSE Clare. She helped her six-year-old make this dapper hat for his school Easter bonnet competition.

    The hat came from a charity shop and the foam stickers come from a Hobbycraft Easter set bought last year. The crowning glory, the chick, is an old baby toy which tweets when its tummy is pressed.

    Little  egg wreaths- double yarn crocheted over old wooden or metal curtain rings. tiny wooden eggs from Flying Tiger. I already had the wooden  motifs but  a tiny flower & bow at the top works just as well.


    Easter Shopping bag made from   themed teacloth.
     Bought a few sets a couple of years ago (lockdown) when Aldi were selling them off for almost nothing. Handles are strips of fabric cut from long edges backed with petersham ribbon (inherited!) Sides are sewn with French seams so no raw edges

    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
