Cascarones - (Confetti Eggs)

A couple of years ago, our family attended an Easter egg hunt where there were many different types of eggs, treats and gadgets to find. One of my kids' favorite things were the eggs filled with confetti. I learned this week they are called cascarones from A Mom Not A Professional Nor a Perfectionist. After the egg hunt was over, everyone was smashing the cascarones on each other's heads! It was a blast!!!!

There is still time to make some of these fun eggs for your Easter celebration tomorrow. And if you don't make some tonight, keep it in mind for next year!

Edible Rainbow Easter Eggs

I'm thinking these edible rainbow Easter eggs are an awesome last minute addition to an Easter holiday. Choose to Thrive made them and I want a plate full of them. They look so yummy and colorful!

Glue Gun Easter Eggs

Since many crafty people use glue guns, I loved this unique idea for adding some detail to Easter eggs. Pay attention you can use this with your kids this week! Measured By The Heart used hot glue to white out areas on the eggs before her family dipped them in dye. The glue will resist the dye! Such a cool technique that I've never heard.

See the hot glue resist Easter eggs.

Popsicle Stick Bracelets AND Ukrainian Eggs

I had no idea you could ever make a popsicle bend into a bracelet shape without breaking it, but YOU CAN! Check out how Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom made popsicle sticks into adorable bracelets. This would be fun for a tween or teen birthday party or just for fun!

See the popsicle stick bracelets.

While you are visiting Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom, you should see how to create these detailed Ukrainian eggs. Suzy walks you through it step-by-step. It is amazing! I can't believe how she is able to create such a beautiful piece of art on an egg. If you don't want to make one, you can always buy one from her etsy shop. They are very reasonable considering the time involved to make them.

4 Reader's Submissions

I get a lot of submission for awesome projects. I love it and I hate it. I love it because there is no way I can view all the amazing blogs, ideas and projects out there. I hate it because I can't possibly feature them all and I feel badly about that.

.

Here are a few of the submissions I've received lately.
