🎩 What You'll Need:

🪄 Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Wrap the brim or base in fabric or tissue paper to give it colour. Secure with glue.

• Add decorations: Use glue to attach chicks, flowers, plastic eggs, ribbons, or anything festive.

• Add height and flair: Pipe cleaners or wired flowers can create shapes that pop!

• Personalise: Write a name on the brim, or add a small banner across the front.

• Let it dry: Give your masterpiece some time to set before showing it off!

🎉 Done! Your DIY Easter bonnet is now ready for the catwalk—or at least the Easter table.

2. Decorate with patterns and feathers

Cut chickens and eggs out of paper and decorate them by gluing on some feathers and drawing beautiful designs on them.

3. Paint eggs with natural colours

Did you know you can colour Easter eggs with onion peels, red cabbage or coffee grounds? Kids will love experimenting with natural colours.

Paint eggs with onion peels

1. Set the strips of onion around the egg you want to paint and use some string so that they are held in place around the eggshell.
2. If you want to paint patterns or designs on the egg you can place something ruffled like leaves, for example, within the onion layer.
3. Then boil the egg as you would normally, the result will be colourful eggs!
4. They can be red or yellow depending on the type of onion you've used.

4. Easter Cards

1. Fold a piece of A4 paper down the middle so it becomes an A5.
2. Draw Easter themes and designs on the inside and an Easter greeting message on the outside.
   ➜ If you want to want to make things a bit fancier, you can cut out a hole from the front so that the writing on the inside is visible when the card is both open and closed!
