5 Minute Craft: Easter Eggs Magnet

I have a bunch of these easy 5 minute crafts coming in 2019. They are super-duper cute and very easy to make. My niece came up with this idea after spotting these sweet little magnetic containers at Bed, Bath and Beyond. So, we made one. We were both thrilled with how it came out (it is a Christmas one), but the cost of the magnetic container was $5.99 (well, $4.80 after the 20% off coupon EVERYONE uses when they shop BB&B), and so even though that first magnet was simple and cute, we were undecided if we wanted to do more.

One day soon after we did the first craft, guess what!? She found them at the dollar store! One. Dollar. This whole entire craft costs about $2 to make, and it was done in 5 minutes. Crafting doesn’t get any better than this!

So get thee to your local dollar store and stock up on these magnetic containers because I have got a number of these little crafts coming… one for every season and a buncha holidays. They really are adorable.

Here’s the heart magnet (Valetine’s day, sweetest day, bridal shower) 5 Minute Craft: Valentine’s Day Heart Magnet I posted in January.

Places where you can buy the jot containers online if you can’t find them in your local dollar store:

• Dollar Tree (bulk only)

• Amazon

• These are a little different at the container store

5 Minute Craft: Easter Eggs Magnet Notes:

• For the back,ground we used scrapbook paper with large enough eggs to click out and use for the border. You can use lightweight felt eggs ig you like. Other cute easter ideas would be bunnies, chickies, etc.

• This craft does not use glitter. You could definitely rim your eggs with glue and then sprinkle blue, yellow, green, or pink glitter around the eggs to make them pop!

• Definitely hot glue the container closed if little hands will be playing with these (or your kitchen will look like a glitter bomb went off when that small child opens this).

• You could probably use goop on this but remember to let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

5 Minute Craft: Easter Eggs Magnet Materials:

• 1 Magnetic Container (we used a Jot)
• 1 Sheet Easter Eggs Scrapbooking Paper
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Glue Gun
• Glue Sticks
• Filler (sparkly dots, glitter, faux snow, etc) In this craft we used the faux snow with a little bit of gold sparkly dots as it could remind people of eggs.

5 Minute Craft: Easter Eggs Magnet Directions:

• Trace an outline of the back of your magnetic tin onto your scrapbook paper.

• Cut out the circle. Set the remaining scrapbook paper aside.

• Insert the circle of scrapbook paper into the magnetic tin to make sure it fits. Make any adjustments necessary.
• Hot glue the back of the circle of scrapbook paper, and then press the hot glue side down into the open magnetic container.

• Add some filler – this is faux snow and a little bit of gold sparkly dots.

• Hot glue top of the container to the bottom of the container (this is optional, but if you have small children handling these, do it!)

• Using the set aside remaining Easter Egg scrapbook paper, cut out a number of eggs. You will need enough to overlap and surround the whole magnet tin. Lay them out on the tin as you go, or before you begin hot gluing to make certain you have enough cut out eggs, and that they are the desired colors you like.
• Hot glue a portion of the rim of the exterior of the magnetic container and then immediately place the cut out Easter eggs on top of the hot glue. Press in place.
• Continue hot gluing the cut out paper Easter eggs around the tin until the whole tin is surrounded.

• Display as desired.

Hand Painted Robin Eggs Bird Nest Décor

February 28, 2019 By Ann 6 Comments

These beautiful blue robin eggs make perfect springtime décor! Simple to make, these robin eggs are ready in no time flat. Your centerpiece never looks so festive with so little effort! These are great for Easter too. Simply follow this easy step-by-step tutorial to make your stunning spring centerpiece, tabletop side piece, or mantel decoration, today!

Hand Painted Robin Eggs Bird Nest Décor

These easy to make hand-painted robin eggs make for super cute springtime or Easter decor. This is a very fast craft project with most of the time coming in for drying of the eggs.

Hand Painted Robin Eggs Bird Nest Décor Notes:

• You can prime your eggs with a layer of spray paint for plastic if you like. You could also use wooden eggs and prime for a wood base. It doesn’t matter if the fake eggs are brown or white. You could use “chicken” eggs, but realize they will be larger than “robin” eggs. Do purchase plastic eggs that do not come apart for a more “realistic” look.

• While you do not have to, you may want to use a spray paint that claims it is better for plastics.

• While this is done in two shades of blue you can do any color of your choice. Some other great options would be pink, yellow, or green. While not exactly “robin” eggs in all those shades, they are very much great springtime egg colors (or Easter egg colors).

• While two different shades of blue were used for these eggs, you can do one shade, or three or four shades! It is really up to you how you’d like your egg nest to look.

• You can hot glue your nesting to the bottom of your bowl if you like.

• You can make a ton of these eggs and place them into a tall vase. Whether you choose to have the moss and nesting at the bottom alone, or in layers as you add eggs to your tall clear vase, is up to you!

• For your glass bowl – check the dollar stores or Target. You could use an old terrarium bowl, or something from delivered flowers too!

Hand Painted Robin Eggs Bird Nest Décor Materials:

• Round Clear Glass (or plastic) Vase
• Fake Moss
• Paper Shred Nesting Material
• Fake Plastic Eggs
• (2) different color Blue Spray Paints: aqua or seaside might be good choices for you
• Black Acrylic Paint
• Stiff Paint Brush
• Pencil
• Small Easel (optional)

Hand Painted Robin Eggs Bird Nest Décor Directions:

• Start by filling the bottom of your vase with fake moss.

• Add nesting material (as shown in the image).

• Cover your work surface against paint spray. Watch for overspray too! (or spray outdoors on the lawn).
• Spray paint half of your eggs one color blue and half the other color blue. Make certain you are spraying evenly (no drips) and completely. Use two light coats if necessary.
• Allow the eggs to dry completely.

• Dip the stiff paint brush into black paint, less is more.
• Hold your paint brush over the eggs and using a pencil, run it back and forth across the bottom of the brush flicking black paint onto the eggs.
• Allow the eggs to dry completely.

• Place the colored eggs into the prepared round glass vase.

• Display as desired.

Easter Egg Wineglass DIY

March 7, 2017 By Ann 4 Comments

Easter Egg Wineglass DIY

Make your own adorable Easter egg wineglasses! This easy step by step tutorial will show you how to easily make sweet Easter egg wineglass decor which are perfect for a centerpiece, mantel decor or table decorations this Easter! This is an easy to make, delightful Easter season craft project.

You can make this any color and may want to vary it a bit (even with just different color yellows or blues or pinks for depth) if you are making three or more as part of a centerpiece or a bigger holiday table decoration. These also work for spring decorating, so keep that in mind too!

I really like painted wine glass decor, as you can see by the Yellow Chick Wineglass DIY (so, so cute! for Easter or spring), Love Bug Wineglass DIY (Valentine’s Day or Summer decor), Love Monster Wineglass DIY (Valentine’s Day or Halloween) Turkey Wine Glass DIY (Thanksgiving or Fall), DIY Wine Glass Snowman (Christmas or Winter), DIY Wine Glass Witch (Halloween) and the DIY Pineapple Candle Holder (anytime!) crafts I have shared in the past. But the truth is, these painted wine glass crafts are simple to make, fun, and are finished in no time flat. Truly just about any adult can make them.

Easter Egg Wineglass DIY Materials:

• Any Wine Glass(es) (shows are three staggered wineglasses for a centerpiece)
• Enamel Paint: white, pastel yellow, blue, green, and pink were used in this craft
• Foam Paint Brush
• Small Easel or Paper Plate
• Small Detail Paint Brush
• Round Sponge Painting Tool
• Tea Lights

Easter Egg Wineglass DIY Directions:

• Lay down a covering to protect your work surface.
• Paint the inside of your wineglasses white with your foam paint brush.
• Allow to dry.
• Paint the outside of your wineglasses white with your foam paint brush.
• Allow to dry.

• Note: on any of these painted wineglass decorations if you feel one coat of paint is not enough coverage (even with painting the inside and outside), just allow the first coat of paint to dry completely, then add a second, thin coat for more complete coverage. Allow to dry completely.

• Turn your glasses upside down and use your circle foam to dab into your paint and carefully press onto your painted wine glasses.
• Go all the way around your glass. You could do a straight line, a wave, close dabs of paint, spread out dabs.
• This tutorial used pink, blue, green and yellow for the round dabs, but you could also use lilac, purple – any color that springy or Easter-ish.
• Allow to dry.

• Use a small detail paint brush to make more detailed lines, dashes, and swirls. Make them your own.
• Allow to dry.

• Top off with a tea light candle. If you want to use a flameless tea light, that would like lovely too.

• Set these cute little wineglasses in the middle of your table, on your fireplace mantel or an end table for a great Easter decoration! Make the group of three in the same or in staggered height for a sweet little centerpiece.
